I really want to make this beer and I have a question. After reading a thread on here with recipe included im trying to replicate it best I can with what I have availabe here in Canada.

Question: Available is Bavarian wheat LME 3.3lb which is (65% Malted Wheat) In the initial threat I believe the guy used 6.6lb but it was a higher % I think 80ish?

Do I need to compensate for that and how can I? Use some DME wheat?

Question: What kind of hops are typical for this type of brew?

Question: Is this yeast good for what I want: Danstar Munich Wheat beer

How much should I use?
