Whirlfloc or not?

[hoptoit]

Going to be doing my second biab tomorrow.
Planning on a wiessbier.
3kg wheat malt
2 kg pilsner malt
20g hallatau at 60mins
10g hallatau at 10mins
Wlp300 yeast
Mash at 67oc for 60 mins 27 litres.
Sparge 6 litres at 80oc.
Ferment at 20oc as I've heard it will bring out the banana more than the clove.

Not put it through any calcs or anything as I haven't got my head round them yet. It's just what I've picked up from looking at other recipes.
Question is should I use a whirlfloc tablet at 10 minutes like I did in my first ipa biab. As I understand wiessbier should have proteins left in. What do you do when doing a wiessbier?
Also does the above recipe sound about right?

Yes, it's the yeast that makes a lot of the cloudyness anyway.

Here is my recipie (and I really like it), I've no idea if it's needed for BIAB but the rice huls are essential if you want to sparge as the wheat will block it.

Heffeweissen/wiessbier has no hop additions other than bittering so I'd not add any at 10min, IBU's should be about 10. The flavour/aroma is all in the yeast.

Also, what strength are you aiming for? 5kg of grain in 33l pre-boil isn't a lot unless you have a very vigorous boil, I had a similar amount into 31l an get quite high efficiency (82% or thereabouts).

As for temp, I went for 20C ramping upto 22C with the Mangrove jacks yeast and got peaches vanilla and banana. You can do it really quickly, I think I was drinking it 9days after the brew, 4 days in primary 5 in the bottles. It was at it's best after a couple of weeks, and went downhill form there, aim to drink it all within a couple of months max. To speed things up I split it between various fruits and even one kettle soured berliner weisse in secondary to add some variety. http://www.thehomebrewforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=62635
