Any difference in brewing a wheat beer? We do a single batch sparge for ales now.

Thanks,

I'm not a huge wheat fan but do add small amounts of it to add a smooth mouth feel to some of my ale recipes.  Wheat can get fairly gummy so you might add some rice hulls depending on your equipment and the amount of wheat.

good luck
 
+ on rice hulls since wheat is hull-less.  Also recommend a mash-out to raise temps and increase liquidity of sparge process.  Watch the crush on your remaining barley so it's not too fine.
