Brewed it today. 60/40 wheat to Vienna with 0.5 ounces caraffa II at the sparge just to bump it up to about 5.5 SRM.
Have 5.25 gallons to the fermenter at 1.052 and just trying to scrub a few more degrees in my swamp cooler before I pitch the starter.

Got a taste yesterday while moving it to the keg. I think it's going to be excellent.

FWIW, a friend of mine who is very knowledgeable about weissbiers and have been to Germany several times told me that many German breweries use pale ale malt instead of pilsner malt in their grists. So, vienna malt may be truer to style.
