Weizen Bucks

I'm using a recipe from an award winning homebrewer in CA. I changed very
little. The original recipe called for .5 pounds of Special B which I can't
get (nor can anybody, right?), so I substituted the same amount of
German Munich. It was closest for the color and extraction factors.
Whatever, right? I'll update this when it's done. In the meantime, we
know it will turn out good if it won an award. Enjoy!
