How much wheat do you use?

[dye4me]

Getting ready to brew my first sours soon. I have come across the same recipe in different quantities dozens of time and just wanted to see what has worked for everyone here. Most recipes tend to be pilsner malt mixed with wheat unmalted or malted. Ive seen the ratio go from 85%pils/15%wheat to 50%pils/%50wheat. I was thinking about trying one at 25% wheat and one at 50% wheat.

So how much wheat do you use, and is it malted or unmated? ( i have access to malted wheat and had planned on using it)

use whatever you want. I have only used wheat malt though. My best sour to date was like 20% wheat and 20%flaked wheat. Others have used rye instead, or even oats. Really, its just to help balance out the body since they usually get so dry
