1.0 pkg American Wheat Ale (Wyeast Labs #1010) [124.21 ml] Yeast 7 -
2 Packs Lemonade KoolAid (added if you want lemon shandy) (Bottling)
I split the batch in half and added 1 pack of kool-aid flavoring to half the fermented beer.
I primed it all and bottled half as honey wheat, then I added the kool-aid to the rest and bottled it.
Both halves tasted great.
