Interesting Wit?

Ok, I want to make a Wit for MD brewday. 90% of all wit recipes are the same. Equal amounts of Pils and Wheat. Corriander and Orange peel for spices.

So I wanted to try something different. Here's what I have so far for hops/grain bill - but I want to get away from the 'corriander/orange' standard. What other cool ingredients might you suggest to go along with this?

Paradise Seeds. Might give a nice spice without going the coriander/BOP route. I LOVE the smell of Paradise Seeds. mmmmmm!

Also choose your yeast carefully. I used the Forbidden Fruit on my last one and it was awesome.

A friend of mine uses a little bit of vanilla on his wit's.

What about a different citrus? Lemon, Lime, Grapefruit, etc

Yeah, another kind of citrus could be nice, and grains of paradise or maybe black peppercorn for that spicy note. Another good one to use is Camomile tea.
I like your recipe until you get to the biscuit malt; that seems a bit strange to me in a wit. But maybe it'll be great?!

Looks excellent. You don't need the irish moss for this style, and some rice hulls might help you sparge all that wheat. I just did 2 batches of a very similar recipe and was please with the result. What kind of yeast/microbes had you planned on using?
