Schneider Weisse???

[WishboneBrewery]

Looking on another forum, I found this, it seems to be roughly worked up from a (per bottle) recipe card from the Schneider restaurant, though the hopping is a bit vague and the ABV is way off as the Schneider Weisse is about 5.4% (I stuck it into Beer Engine to have a look)
Yeast could be cultured from a couple of bottles of shop bought I presume. Does anyone have a better recipe or tweak this one?

Its the only hefe brewer i know of the using the primary yeast for bottling, the yeast will be the main thing a grist of any where form 50% what to 60% will get you in the ball park IMO

So the hopping and bitterness isn't that important then?

I would put monry that the IBU's are some where between 12-15 with one 60 min addition, a German hop would be good but since it so low IBU I think you could get away with an English hop

I've got some Hersbrucker, but I suppose that could be saved for something more worthy of the aroma.

Looks good but that appears to be a lot of carafa III

Will knock it down to what I had in the first draft.
