I posted a recipe a couple minutes ago that looks somewhat reminiscent of this. Couple questions if you don't mind:
1) Do you anticipate having any issues with using wheat for more than 1/2 of your grist?
2) What are the benefits of the step infusion?
Homebrew n00b sorry. Also, I admire your brevity :) My post is anything but.
 
I saw that german law states it should be at least 50% wheat, so I went high. i think the downfall may be color. Again as far as the step process it was from research. The first rest is for acid rest, (water here is pretty basic) The second is a protein rest. The third is a quick amalyse rest to boost fermentable sugars. i went for a higher mash temp then to build body (could be wrong with that )
