Just got my starter made for a 3 Floyds Gumballhead Wheat clone going tomorrow. Hope it's enough time. Anyone have this beer before? A wheat pale ale sounded interesting to me. I had to substitute cascade hops for the amarillo the recipe called for, we'll see.
 
This is a great beer. I used all amarillo hops and it was outstanding. This reminds me that I have to berew it again soon.
 
Care to share the recipe? I have a friend who lives in Chicago and loves this beer. I've been wanting to try it but I can't get it here in PA.
 
Here's the recipe I got from brew365.
