Vienna and wheat need to be mashed not steeped.

If you'd like to use Vienna and White Wheat you could do a minimash.

Brewtoad seems to indicate you'd end up getting around 1.084 with an IBU of 52 (0.61).

Are you going for a specific style or brewing to taste?

 

[khannan]

More taste. I love Galaxy hops, and want an IPA that is Galaxy forward.

Should i use carapils instead of white wheat?

Along with the crystal 60? That's a lot of specialty malts. You shouldn't need it for head retention with a beer that big. The crystal 60 should be all you need.

If you were already going to steep the three pounds of grain, just go ahead and mash it in the bag since, as others have mentioned, the Vienna and white wheat need to be mashed.

Agreed. If you "steep" in about a gallon of water at 150* it will be a mash.

Only if you do it long enough to convert...
