Brewing this next week on Tuesday, since it's getting hot as hell out:

 

45.5% Pils

45.5% wheat

9% Munich

 

2 oz Columbus (14% AA, pellets):

 

0.25 oz as FWH

0.5 oz for bittering (90-min)

0.25 min for flavor (10-min)

1 oz for a hopstand (30-min)

 

US-05 will handle the heavy lifting in the primary.

 

Beersmith predicts an of OG of ~1.061 (~6.2% abv), ~54 IBUs, and ~5 SRM for this one.

 

Will post pics in the Pint-Picture thread once on tap.

Ive found the 90 minute pils boil to be useless waste of gas, looks good otherwise.

Half ounce or 1 oz. of dry Columbus would be nice if you are going to go straight Columbus.

Agree and my 30 minute helles would agree too!

Just mildly lulzing at a 6.2%, 54 IBU beer for when it's hot as hell! Looks like an IPA from over here.

I think that 54 IBU's will not really translate into and IPA type bitterness.  1oz of hops in the boil is  not IPA like... at least not at my house

unless it's 1 oz at 20% AA

 

 

 

the beer as posted sounds solid, Columbus goes well with Wheat or Rye

I agree the beer looks good and I would probably like it. I might even like on a hot-as-hell day!

[Rattfink]

I think it sounds good. The high ABV and IBUs are unusual for wheat but WTF? Why not? 

I would do a pinch more Munich for that much bittering but that's just me.
