Wild Rice and Buck Wheat as adjuncts?

[luvmy40]

Has any one ever used either in any recipes?
I have a wheat LME recipe in primary right now that I added a pound of wild rice and a pound of crystal malt in a steep. It has promise. the flavor is undeniably different than any wheat or true weizen that I have had. (and very pleasant at this point in fermentation).
I have a recipe in my head for a pilsner base with wild rice and buck wheat. I am expecting a lighter flavor with nutty(wild rice)/chocolaty(buckwheat) overtones. I love a good robust porter but want something a good bit crisper.
One question that I am kicking around is whether to use a lagering yeast or a wheat yeast. Will the wheat yeasts still give the banana/clove tones with the pilsner malt? I am not sure that I have the patience for a lager yet.
Any thoughts?

Here's what I have come up with:
7gal wort (batch sparge)for 5gal batch:
8lb 2 row pilsner
3lb 6 row wheat
2lb wild rice
1.5lb buck wheat
1oz saaz 60min
.25oz saaz 5min
wheat/weizen dry yeast or Lagering(pilsner)yeast

At least one other person has an open Wild Rice thread right now, in fact. Here it is, with another recipe from the DB for reference as well:

I can't say I've used Buckwheat before. I found a recent thread though:

Your base recipe looks very good though. I like Saaz in wheat beers, it's quite nice.
