I’m looking to brew a batch soon and would love to use some of the odd lots of grain I have laying around. Here is the recipe I plan on brewing:

My Questions:
Can I substitute the CaraVienne malt with Wyermann Vienna Malt?

Can I substitute the wheat malt with white wheat?

Thanks in advance!

White wheat is fine.

CaraVienne isn’t the same thing as Vienna malt (24L versus 3.5L). You can substitute with Crystal 20 or Victory malt and I doubt anyone would be able to tell the difference. If push comes to shove you could toast a bit of Vienna at 400F for 5-10 minutes.
 
It's a caramel malt, so it'll be different if you just use regular Vienna. The color is around 20L, so C20 might be a decent replacement, but it's supposed to have a different flavor than a regular caramel/crystal malt of the same color, so it might be a bit different from the original recipe.
