Plain Wheat DME for a starter?

[Q2XL]

I have 5 lbs of Plain Wheat DME that I really don't have use for in any of my recipes. I was wondering if it is ok to use this type of DME in my starters? It consists of 55% wheat and 45% barley. The dme would be used for most any beer that I make....scottish ales, ipa, spiced beer, a little bit of everything.

It seems to me that it would be ok, but I thought that I better ask to see what the consensus is.

It'll work just fine, actually the wheat will have more of the proteins that your yeast can use anyway.

Yeah it'll be just fine.

I have canned wort saved from all types of brews including a hefe of two. Works just the same, I save the wheat based wort for steps for wheat based beers so that the yeast are acclimatized but really it does not matter it is just me being paranoid!
