Wiser Understanding, Weizen

My brother in law loves German Hefeweizen's.  Loves them.  Historically I've never had success brewing one.  Luckily they are not my preferred style to drink so it has never bothered me to much.  With this beer I wanted to use WLP351, but my LHBS was out of stock so I made a last minute switch to WLP300.  Considering my brother in law Jordan is coming for Christmas, I wanted to get this beer brewed and fermenting ASAP.
