Im going for a wheat beer with more hoppy/floral taste to it but still with fruit undertones. Let me know what you think. Ill take any and all criticism. Thanks

That ratio of wheat may be tricky to lauter, especially since this is your first AG batch and you're not familiar with your system and your process.

Sounds yummy though!

I think the rye malt will get lost in the sea of wheat. I generally like to make rye beers or wheat beers, and not mix the two. I would definitely use a 1 lb of rice hulls in your MLT. You can probably go 6 lb wheat and 4 lb 2-row and get basically the same taste with much less hassle.

Crystal malts usually aren't used at all in wits or wheats. I like a hoppy wheat beer. You might be mixing things up a bit with the wit beer spices and the forward hops. I'd choose one or the other. Or split the batch and put the spices in one secondary and the dry hops in another.

I would increase the two-row and decrease the wheat. That's a lot of wheat percentage-wise.
