Grain Clarification

[daveooph]

Ok - I'm about to do my first PM...a dunkleweizen. Should I use unmalted wheat or malted wheat?

Also, instead of either I was thinking of using caramel wheat from Austin Home Brew...Thoughts?

What is your recipe.

Since you said PM, go with the malted wheat. Unmalted wheat is trickier to use, and is not used in this style. Don't use caramel wheat as your base grain. Think of it like crystal malt.
