Hey Everyone,
So this is only the 2nd recipe I've designed on my own, so it may be a little rough, but I figured I would post it here and see if I could get some feedback. It's supposed to be an American Wheat with honey. It's for a 3 gal recipe that I designed in BeerSmith. I do an all-grain stove top technique (per DeathBrewer) that has gotten me around 70% efficiency usually. Any suggestions are welcome. Thx and happy brewing to all.

6.5gal x 1.5qt/lb = 2.43gal pre-mash H20 (strike temp=165*; target mash temp=155*)
2.43g - 0.6g (25%absorption) = 1.82g post-mash
3.75g - 1.82g = 1.95g sparge H20 (strike temp=185; sparge temp=170)
1.82g (post-mash) + 1.95g post-sparge = approx 3.75g pre-boil
