After a couple of extract/partial mash brews without to much problems I've decided to give all grain a go with the BIAB method.
I did some re search and then used Beer Smith to put together my first 2 recipes. I'm just wondering if any of you out there that have more experance then me would be willing to look it over and tell me what you think. Feel free to rip it to shreds if I'm making an huge mistakes. Rather learn, then brew - not learn after I brewed. I'm not looking for "traditional" but still want it to be grounded in traditional roots for the style.

Rye Wheat? - 5gal Batch

Any comments would be welcome and greatly appricated. Again, I have never created any beer recipe before I want to make sure I'm not trying to do the "I'm excited and going to throw in everything but the kitchen sink" brew. Then be bitterly disappointed when it tastes horrible.
Thanks!
