I want to brew my first weiss in a couple of days.

I've been looking around the forum, found a few clones etc and have set up a recipe in beersmith based on what i've read. Seems really simple.

I only really have the setup to do a single infusion mash.

I can't find any rice hulls - any subs?

Am thinking about something like this:

Est Original Gravity: 1.051
Est Final Gravity: 1.015 SG
Estimated Alcohol by Vol: 4.8 %
Bitterness: 12.7 IBUs
Est Color: 7.0 EBC

3.00 kg Pilsner (Weyermann) (3.3 EBC) 50.0 %
3.00 kg Wheat Malt, Bel (3.9 EBC) 50.0 %
18 g Hallertauer [4.80 %] - Boil 60.0 min 9.3 IBUs
18 g Hallertauer [4.80 %] - Boil 10.0 min 3.4 IBUs
1.0 pkg Safbrew Wheat (DCL/Fermentis #WB-06)

I am considering adding 10 to 15% munich and dropping some of the Pilsner malt.

Also - does the Pilsner malt yield a much better result than normal pale malt? it is more than double the price here.

What are optimal mash and fermentation temps?

thanks for the input
