I was thinking about substituting 3-4 pounds of pale with wheat. Any input?

Almost exactly my recipe, I used no munich and 24oz Caramunich Malt same IBUs too. Was a very nice drinkable beer (like a nice Chardonnay wine on a late afternoon). Made Amarillo my favorite hop as seems to leave less after taste (IMHO). I named mine Amarillo Blond. Think you may like this simple beer with full taste. Oh, let me know what the biscuit malt tasted like in here, please.
