Looking for advice. I accidentally picked up unmalted wheat instead of malted for a saison. It's less than 5% of the grist, and I'll do an infusion mash at 145F. Wondering if I should

a)omit the unmalted wheat
b)keep it but do a protein rest
c)just mash it at 145 with everything else.

I'm not concerned about brewing this to style. Thanks for suggestions.

With that amount, I'd just throw it in.  I've done Saisons with a much larger percentage of raw grain, and they turn out fine, but I do a beta glucan and protein rest for those.

One other thing is that crushing raw wheat can be a pain.  Set your mill gap tight!

Excellent. I appreciate the advice.

After you crush the unmalted wheat, you probably won't use whole unmalted kernels again. It's a huge PITA. I've found the best way to crush it is to run it through the mill a couple times at slightly decreasing gaps.

A corona mill is great for grinding unmalted grains to flour, and toning your body!
