Hi everyone. New member here looking to get feedback on the grain bill that I put together for my second beer, a dunkelweizen (dark wheat beer).
First off, huge thanks to this forum. I have learned SO much here.
Here is the ingredient list I put together for this all grain brew:

Question: Does this ingredient list look good for a Dunkelweizen? What should I add/remove/change?

Here's how I came up with these ingredients:
1) Found a style guide for Dunkelweizen that shows the recommended grains by percentage. Here's the recommendation I found: (link)
2) The "German Dark Wheat Malt" is not available at my LHBS, so I substituted "White Wheat Malt".
3) The American "White Wheat Malt" is lighter in color than the "German Dark Wheat Malt". I read that I can use a small amount of "Carafa I" to get to my target beer color. I decided on 10oz of "Carafa I" to get to my target dark color.
Malt Bill for Dunkelweizen and Weizenbock
- 60% Dark Wheat malt
- 25% Pils malt
- 10% Munich malt
- 5% Caramunich, Carawheat or Chocolate Wheat malt; vary depending on desired color, flavors, and aroma.
