Can I use the Briess Pilsner and Bavarian Wheat DMEs for making a lambic, as opposed to using Unmalted Wheat or flaked wheat, and Pilsner malt?
I see one commercial kit that does this and wonder how it tastes compared to all grain. It seems like a convenient way to get started, but I wont do it if it's noticeably worse tasting.

(If you use Flaked wheat, I assume you need to mash it with at least its weight in malted barley?)
