does anyone have a Weihenstephaner Hefe Weissbier clone or recipe close to it?
cheers

Look on recipedb - IIRC LestheWeizguy is a bit of a Wei expert.
I made a Roggenweiss last year - not 100% the same, but a great beer considering I'm a fellow Weibier lover.
The other thing about Rye is that it made up for the dry yeast (WB-06). Most experts concur that you need (or prefer) a wet yeast to get the banana in there. Mine was a bit light on for banana, but the Rye added another character that made it very nice.
As it stands:
80% wheat
20% rye
Fairly neutral euro/uk hop to 18 IBU (I used Willamette - American Fuggles, because I have a lot of it).
WB-06.
It's pretty newbfriendly.

I can't spell Wiehnstephan
The key is the Wyeast 3068. It has the banana clove flavour that makes this beer so drinkable. And this is the yeast used by the brewery.

The others fall short. This beer is all about that ester. You won't get close without it.
