Belgian Saison

So, Wyeast released some limited edition strains for the summer. I picked up a pack of WY3724, Belgian Saison, since I wanted to make a saison this summer after reading about the style in BYO and trying Smuttynose's Farmhouse Ale last year. Here's the recipe I came up with, no real rhyme or reason to the hop schedule and varieties. We'll see...
7lbs 9 oz. Pilsner Malt
1 lb 5 oz. Light Munich
1 lb Flaked Wheat
2 oz. Saaz (3.0% AA) pellets at 60 min.
1 oz. Liberty (3.2% AA) pellets at 5 min.
Whirlfloc at 15 min.
Slurry from 2 liter starter of WY3724
OG of 1.055 at 80% eff. for 5.5 gallons
