I've been making some all-grain batches, and enjoy it a lot.
One problem, a coopers kit recipe I did as second and fourth batch worked out really nice, so now I'd like to do the same beer but all grain.

The old ingredients:
Thomas coopers selection wheat beer kit.
1 kg/2.2 lbs dry malt extract-wheat
500g/1.1 lbs Local honey.
Coopers ale yeast.
21 liters water/5.5 gallons

As you can see it's pretty simple, but makes a nice drinkable beer that doesn't have the hefe-flavour that my wife doesn't like so much.

As this would be a good beer to stock in summer, I'd like to make a lot more
 
Wheat extract is between 50/50 and 65/35 wheat malt/2 row(or pils) depending on manufacturer. Punch those numbers into a calculator, such as brewers friend, and you can figure out the numbers. [33% honey seems suspiciously high, but if you liked it, you liked it]

Or just look up an american wheat recipe, and use the coopers yeast instead. Cause thats what it basically is.
 
That makes more sense.... I was thinking it looked like a 1.035 beer with 33% honey, which sounded gross.
