I've been trying without success to determine what yield I can expect from unmalted wheat (as one might find in say a Witbier recipe). Palmer's table of "Typical Malt Yields (in PPG)" does not list unmalted wheat. I've also found no mention of yield on this forum or the internet homebrew shops that I frequent. Palmer lists *malted* wheat at 37 PPG. I have to think that the yield from unmodified grain is greater than zero, but have no idea where it lies between zero and the figure you might get after malting modification.
Does anyone have any ideas on this? I'm mostly curious to know so that I know what my latest batch's mashing efficiency is - it was from a premixed witbier grain kit (so I have to assume that the composition of grains was what the internet store claims) . Right now I can calculate a max. yield if I assume the unmalted wheat PPG is 0, and a min. yield if it's the same as malted wheat, but I'd like to be able to use an informed number in between.
