- Base malts => I guess there isn't much to say other than the part wheat will provide a chill haze and promote the cloudiness expected in this beer. So a mix of 2row and wheat malt makes sense. I have brewed beers with 100% wheat malt and it did come out quite good, so that option could also be explored.
I'll take this back. The photo below is the 100% wheat malt beer that I just brewed, and as seen, it is pretty clear (at 40F). So the haze/cloudiness of BM must come from the oats, perhaps from the flaked wheat if used, not from the wheat malt.
I'm not sure about the flavor profile coming from the wheat malt. I'll let someone more experienced speak to that.
