Sour IPA

It's about time that I use up the remaining GoodBelly StraightShots, and how better to do that than with a sour IPA?

Partial Mash:
8.5 oz 2-row
2 oz flaked wheat

Boil #1 - 25 Feb 2020 (20 min):
1 lb Pilsen DME
4 oz table sugar

After the boil, rack the wort on to two GoodBelly StraightShots, in a sanitized fermenter, then place the fermenter on a warmed warming plate, wrapped in a towel.

Boil #2 - 28 Feb 2020 (20 min):

Hops:
7 g German Perle (@ 20 min)
1 oz SA African Queen (@ flameout, 10 min whirlpool)

Yeast: US-05

Addendum, 7 Mar: Dry hopped with 14 g German Mandarina Bavaria hops.

Addendum, 11 Mar: Bottled tonight, on 30 ml of light corn syrup, dissolved into 1/2 cup of boiling water.  Got 8 good bottles and 1 re-purposed soda bottle.

Tasting Notes, 25 Mar: Chilled and opened the soda bottle tonight. Excellent flavor, good body, but only minimally carbonated.  Sours don't usually have much head to speak of, but this beer was very mildly carbonated.  I'm not sure what the issue is, it's something I'm going to need to address.
