I used HB_99's recipe the first time I brewed a hefe -- it's easier than mine, and like he says it's a great session brew. (Thanks again, Bill!) But after a few batches I've come to love the Franziskaner clone - since the Franzi is my favorite, this one's my most regular beer.
Also, read up on harvesting and washing your yeast on this site! It saves $$ on those expensive liquid yeasts if you can at least get 3 batches out of that $7 bucks yeast!

It's strange that they're all the same, but different.

Franziskaner is a great one for sure. I'd like to get some more Julius Echter or a Tucher...or a recipe for either.;)
 
so back to the topic at hand, i ended up brewing a hefe using the following...

1# wheat
6# wheat (65% wheat 35% barley) LME
1oz Hallertauer
wyeast 3068 - Weihenstephan Weizen activator

steeped wheat at 155° for 30 minutes

added LME

added 1oz hallertauer @60 mins

my hydrometer cracked when it dropped after brewing my IPA earlier saturday evening so unfortunately i dont have an SG reading and i need to get a new hydrometer lol.

pitched yeast @80 degrees and currently in primary @65-70 degrees

thanks for the input and lets hope this turns out GREAT!
