Wow - a lot of questions built into one.
I want to make an Apricot Wheat and use White Wheat - should be OK?
Anybody got a BIAB recipe for this?
I also have a good bit of Ida Pils.
I plan on post flavoring and artificially carbonating this beer using some form of organic apricot syrup - not nectar [don't want the pulp nor do I want to ferment any part of the natural flavor.
Next issue is that I am looking for a very light color - any hints here?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Wheat Beer Help
Dutch, here is my Watermelon wheat recipe.
Not sure of the quantity of apricot syrup that you would substitute.
The color calculates to 5.8 SRM.
5 lbs Wheat Malt
3 lbs Pale Malt (2 Row) UK
8.0 oz Caramel/Crystal Malt - 10L
8.0 oz Honey Malt
1.00 oz Hallertauer [3.80 %] (60 min)
1.00 oz Hallertauer [3.80 %] (10 min)
2.00 oz Watermelon extract (Bottling)
1 Pkg. Nottingham yeast
My BIAB numbers for a 5 gallon batch, grain temp of 70°, 155° mash, 60 min. boil :
7.2 Gallons of Mash water @ 160.3°

Re: Wheat Beer Help
I did this Northern Brewer recipe for my last Wheat beer. I added an extra 2lbs 2row and 2lbs Wheat. It turned out pretty good, I was going to do it again and add blackberrys to the secondary. As far as the White Wheat goes, on the Northern Brewer website it says "3° L. A domestic wheat malt; can be used for up to 50% of a grain bill."
