Looks good :-)
Although I have to say, that's a lot of TW, why not just use malted wheat?
High quantities of TW can produce funny flavours.

I was aiming for a Belgium-ish come French ale and have read that anywhere between 10 and 40% could be added. Also was looking for the orange colour i have seen in German wiessen beers.I was lead to believe that colour comes from TW.

So there is some method to my madness.

Oh ok, fair enough. I didn't know you could use up to 40%.
 
Not a brew biff after all!

Down to 1012 already.

The yeast is good.

Taste out of the gravity vile is lovely with biscuit coming through and a grassy flavor of hops!
