I have a hardly used sack of typical wheat grain, i didnt buy it from a brewing supplier. Used it for a brew or two aiming to make a nice wheat beer which i love.

Anyway, any tips on the best way to extract the best and utilise this, other than making bread?
 
Since it's not malted, you'd just have to gelatinize the wheat. Most folks say you should use a cereal mash, but I prefer just to precook the adjunct before I add it to the regular mash. Wheat gelatinizes at 51-60C. Crush it, cook it, add it to the mash. As long as you gelatinize it, you could use it in place of torrified or flaked wheat in any recipe.
