Do I need to do a protein rest?

Hi Im making a Partial Mash Hefeweizen today and will be using 2lbs of Rahr White wheat 4lb of Global Kolsch malt and 3lb of Wheat DME. Question is do I need to do a protein rest on my 2lb of wheat malt? If I dont will it affect my Gravity readings at all? Thanks

No. Just mash it at 152.

Ok the reason I ask is in my recipe im approching 25% of the total bill as wheat malt(22%) and they say you should do a rest 25% and greater

with how they malt the grains today you should be fine with a single infusion. "and I said should"
