I'm brewing an Amber Weizen this weekend. I'm calling it Amber Weizen rather than dunkelweizen because I think its more American in style. I've never brewed a hefeweizen before so I was wondering which hops you would recommend and how much. I'm shooting for around 25-30 ibus. The hops I have availiable are Mt. Hood(4.2AA), Tettnanger(4.3AA), Northern Brewer(7.0AA), Willamette(4.5AA), Fuggle(4.5AA), UK Challenger(8.0AA), Simcoe(13.4AA) and Cascade(6.4AA). This is only my third all-grain batch so if theres anything you would recommend changing about the recipe below then let me know. Thanks.

2 lbs. crystal malt (40L)
½ lb. aromatic malt
