gonna attempt my first wheat beer this weekend. keeping it simple and also using a dried yeast. recipe is as follows:

1.8 kg pale malt
1.8 kg wheat malt
honey 450 g - @ flame out

30 liberty - 90 mins

23 litres
EBU - 16
ABV - 5 %

i was wondering if anyone could tell me what temp would be best to ferment at?

It depends on which yeast you are using. Is it one of the new dried wheat strains that are now on the market? Is it a regular ale yeast?
I always put in some honeymalt when I brew a honey beer.
I'm just here for the beer.
