Anybody want to tell me how I could improve this?

5 gallon batch
6# Northern Brewer liquid Wheat extract
1# light DME

steep 2# Weyerman smoked malt x 30 minutes at 155 degrees.

I'm playing around with the hops, but am thinking Hallertau 1oz x 60 minutes
1 oz Hallertau at 30
1/2 oz at 15

Pitch at 70 degrees with American Ale II Wyeast (that's all I have)
Ferment in the mid 60's for a couple weeks.

Is there any need for me to steep a pound of dextrin? Maybe I'll do that with the smoked malt.

I want the smoke to be decently heavy--not necessarily Schlenkerla, even though I wouldn't be opposed to it.

I don't have any brewing software at the moment, so this is all just a shot in the dark how strong this is, but I'd like it ~6.5% or so.

Probably going to boil 6 1/2 gallons of water.

Thanks in advance!
