The question is probably bigger than just this particular malt (see heading)...how can you tell if a grain is a specialty malt that doesn't mashing, or one that does?
I'm looking to use something like Weyermann's CaraWheat in an upcoming dunkel. I understand that doesn't need mashing (I generally use this chart to check if i'm not sure). I noticed G&G don't stock CaraWheat, but saw Bestmalz Dark Wheat Malt on their website. Looked it up, and for the life of me can't tell if it needs mashing or not. The chart above has a dark wheat that needs a mash, and a caramel wheat and chocolate wheat that don't.
I'll ask G&G about the Bestmalz, but just wondering if there's some way to know these things?
