Also plan to do an acid rest at 111f for 20 Min before raising temp up to 150F

You might want to research and consider fermenting this at, or below, the recommended range for 3068. Many reputable sources and recipes recommend to ferment this around 17°C (62°F)

Here's one reputable place to go...  http://thebrewingnetwork.com/shows/The-Jamil-Show/Bavarian-Weizen-The-Jamil-Show-06-05-06

Also, there is more than just the temperature that will affect the balance. Your pitch rate will be a big factor as well.

If you haven't already done so, you may want to consider a 90 minute boil as well, to drive off that extra DMS from using pilsener malt.

First mash
10.98L @ 121F will give me 110F Acid rest for 20 Min

Adding 8.14L of 212F (boiling water) to bring my Mash up to 150F

Let Stand for 1 hour

Add 6L boiling water at end of 60 Min Mash for 170F mashout

boil 60 min

after reading more acid rest helps with the clove character so I may just mash at 150F

Ive adjusted the recipe to go with traditional grain bill being 66% wheat

6.00 lbs.     White Wheat Malt
3.25 lbs.    Pilsner Malt
0.5 oz.     Mt. Hood (Pellets, 3.9 %AA) boiled 60 min (An aromatic variety derived from Hallertau with a refined, spicy aroma and clean bittering. (alpha acid: 4.0-6.0% / beta acid: 5.0-7.5%)

Yeast :    WYeast 3068 Weihenstephan Weizen

Original Gravity     1.051
Terminal Gravity     1.012
Color     3.73 °SRM
Bitterness     10.01 IBU
Alcohol (%volume)     5.0 %

I will be direct pitching the smack pack to follow Wyeast's suggestion of under pitching this yeast strain

and mashing at 152 F

Fermenting in the 65-68F range due to lack of temp control :(
