Wow.. this is my next recipe for sure!!! I've never brewed with Wheat before.. am I screwed without rice hulls?

I am also wondering about the rice hulls. I have heard that if you do a nice protein rest at 117-122 that it makes a perfectly workable mash, but i dont know if i believe it either.
 
I don't use rice hulls in this beer, I simply don't need them. I mash this beer ~152F for 60 min.
But I guess the need (or lack of it) for rice hulls may depend on the shape of your MLT and the type of your lauter filter. I use a rectangular Coleman cooler for an MLT and a manifold filter made out of CPCV pipe.

It's also less than 40% wheat, so that might be enough barley to lauter w/o a problem.
 
Just wanted to push this one back to the top..
I am on the search for a good, easy Hefe recipe to brew in a larger batch then rack over different fruits in smaller batches in the secondary. I thought this one looked really good for that. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Also, how would I calculate %ABV if I am adding more sugar at the secondary, that would make my initial gravity reading useless.. right?
