Hi all, I am going to brew up a new beer for my wife to enjoy. She does not like bitter beers and asked for something with blackberry in it so I was going to brew up a Weizenbier for her with the following ingredients.

6.6 pounds of Wheat Liquid Malt Extract (LME).
1 # of Red Wheat steeped for 30 minutes at 150 degrees.
Hops: 1 1/2 ounce of German Hallertau hops

IBUs: 6 - 10
Wyeast Bavarian Wheat 3056

1)After steeping the wheat, add 1/2 of the LME and start the boil.
2) Add 1 ounce Hallertau Hops and boil for 40 minutes
3)Add the rest of the LME and boil 15 minutes
4)Add the last 1/2 ounce of hops and boil 5 minutes
End boil


After the primary is finished, rack to secondary on top of 49 ounces of blackberry puree.

Most of this is right out of a kit with me adding the steeping grains and the blackberry.

Do you think the added wheat steeping grains will overpower everything else, or do you feel a different steeping grain would be a better choice?

Any input would be appreciated.
 
Only thing I can add is to maybe add only 3/4 of the hallerteu at 50 minutes vs 60min to cut back on some more bittering and add the remaining 1/4 hallerteu at 5 min for more aroma. Unless you meant that you were adding at 40 min of boil.....them my idea makes no sense.
