I would cut the hops back to a 60 min addition. Franziskaner has little to no hop aroma and flavor. I would also leave out the Malto-Dextrine it adds too much body for such a dry crisp refreshing beer.

I like 3068 for Hefeweizen, but 3638 should be a good strain as well.
 
So how did this recipe turn out? I attempted a Hefe recipe and got crap for efficiency too... tasted like flavored water.
