Cherry extract is really just tart cherry juice concentrate available in most grocery stores. I used 1 quart for this recipe.

Young this beer greatly resembles a kreik but as it matures over a few weeks it loses some of the tartness and make a very nice cherry wheat. It's one of swmbo's favorites and a crowd pleaser.
