After reading Martin's Water Knowledge page I was surprised to see there was no category for Wheat malt in the Malt Acid Content Relationships table.
Wheat malt seems to be an outlier, having a DI pH value of 6.04, 0.32 points higher than 2 Row malt having a DI pH 5.70. When formulating a brewing water profile, for a wheat beer recipe using 45% Wheat malt and 55% base malt, it seems the Bru'n Water pH prediction would benefit from including an entry for Wheat malt in the Malt Acid Content Relationships table.
Since the mEq/lb acid contribution of base malt is (0.28*Lovibond Rating) wouldn't it be fairly easy to add Wheat malt too?
