You can use 100% wheat malt, you just have to add some enzymes to help with the conversion. If the eikhorn did not have the diastatic power to convert itself, these brewers would have had to add enzymes, they may just not have gone into that much detail on an article that was written for the masses, not targeted at the brewing community.
 
Quite an interesting brew, I'd love to try that perhaps fermented with a yeast cultivated from brewing tools of that age...
 
From the documentaries I've seen, there were not "brewing tools" in that age. Beer was made by putting wheat/barley in something watertight, it would rain, and wild yeast would ferment it. That's how beer was made for most of human history. If you want to try that, be my guest. It'll suck a**, but will get you drunk!
