I've been wondering why nobody has mentioned toasting the c60 or the munich.  Heck, I wonder what kind of character you'd get from toasted wheat.

Toasted FLAKED wheat? I think not. Notify me when you legalize wheat malt #freethewheat

> 'cause they're about to get blown

Mind remains unblown. that's what I was talking about getting darker than C60.

Steeping and all that sounds really neat to Olan, but sounds horrible to me. #aintnobodygottimeforthat

Toasted C60 makes a kind of Special B, that is a toasted caramel malt.

Toasted Munich gives a sweeter Brown malt, not as sweet as an aromatic, very nice.

Toasted Wheat (30 EBC) is quite nutty, Dingemans or Castle make it.

C'mon.  Toasted flaked oats are delicious.  Where's your sense of adventure?

Yeah, wheat malt, frankly, would have been an infinitely better option for creativity than flaked wheat.

You know its ok to change your mind. Maybe a vote??

I mean shit: the DME/LME options are made with MALTED WHEAT. Your rules make the All Grain brewers use UNMALTED FLAKED WHEAT. Just admit the shortcoming, spam reddit with a ruleschange blog post, and embrace freedom.

Why not just use some wheat LME?

Because I am not going to poison my beer with extract. 

Also, because I really want the wheat so I have a huskless grain to mess with. ;)

No one that matters. You're not winning hoppy category with a  beer brewed 4 months ahead of time. 

So you really think this is just a design decision, not a mistake? Using Malted wheat extract as an equivalent for unmalted flaked wheat? Cause it just seems like an oversight.
