    Every once in a while I make an extra large batch of a lower alcohol, low hops beer and freeze the extra wort to use for starters. I am running low, and I am making a hefe soon. Is there any reason not to use wort made with wheat to make starters?

    Other than the fact that hops tend to inhibit yeast growth, no. So it's not really ideal, but will work anyway.
