So many wheat malts - which one do I need

[TravelingLight]

I'm brewing my first AG next week. I want to be prepared when I go get my grains from the only HB store in my area. It ain't a great one either.

His website isn't great so it may not be up to date. I want white wheat in my grain bill. But his website only lists torrified wheat, and "floor malted bohemian wheat malt." I think I know what torrified wheat is. WTF is the floor malted stuff? More importantly, if he only has those two, which one should I use for my white wheat? Thanks guys.

Thanks for the heads up. Out of curiosity, what the hell does "floor malted" mean?

Floor Malting means that the germinated malt is literally dried on a large floor rather than an oven or some other heating device:
