Hey there.
I will be brewing a Saison recipe that is available here on HBT.

Recipe calls for:
8.50 lbs. Pilsner Malt(2-row)
1.50 lbs. White Wheat
0.50 lbs. CaraMunich Malt
0.50 lbs. Flaked Oats
1.00 lbs. Orange Blossom Honey (added with 5 minutes left in the boil)

Problem is that I could only get my hands on Unmalted White Wheat (https://www.ontariobeerkegs.com/Unmalted_White_Wheat_OiO_1_lb_p/malt-1lb-unmalted-white-wheat.htm)

Can anyway tell me if I can use the unmalted wheat directly in my mash tun, or should I do a cereal mash first?
 
If it's flaked white wheat then it's pre-gelatinized and fine in the mash, however, gelatinization temps of wheat are lower than mash typical mash temps (52-54C) so just adding it to the mash will probably allow conversion. It may be a bit hazy, but it should be fine.
 
The one I got is not flaked. If it will allow conversion, I honestly do not care if the Saison is hazy (in fact, I prefer it that way) :)
 
Thanks fellas. That was quick and efficient.
Gotta love all the knowledgeable people here :)
