Did you end up brewing this one? It looks good to me. The only suggestion I'd have is trying to get your hands on some liquid yeast like Wyeast 3068 or WLP300. I can't speak for the 300 but the 3068 is outstanding!

yeah did this today . had my mate round and we was drinking all day brewing :party: so gonna post some pics later . had a lovely dark colour bit more of bitterness coming through but hopefully a pleasant nice drink staring gravity 1045 gonna be a little lower than i wanted but until i get some better equipment i guess my extraction wasn't hight enough, mind i did get 27 litres instead of expected 23L , i slighty over did the sparge .
Also i'd like to try wyeast 3056 i read it was used in some german wheat brews , have any good results with them? would you say liquid is better than dried by much etc ? :grin:

I've used 3068 and 3333. 3068 is by FAR a much better wesissbier producing yeast (at least to me) than 3333. I have never used dried yeast for anything other than american ales and english bitters so I can't comment on it for wheat.
