Belgian Wit

I recently brewed a Belgian Wit beer for my daughters first birthday party. The recipe for 10 gallons is:
8 lbs Pilsner Malt
8 lbs Wheat Malt
2 lbs Flaked Oats
2 oz. Hallertau @ 60 min.
2 oz. Czech Saaz @ 2 min.
Zest from 3 oranges at 2 min.
1 packet Safale WB-06 and 1 packet Safale T-58
Mash for 1 hour at 152 deg., 1 hour boil
OG: 1.048, FG: 1.009

I ended up mashing at about 150, which dried out the finished product a little more than I wanted. But, the beer tastes and smells great, and I think that once it is kegged and carbonated it will really be nice. Cheers!
