well hello there...

I don't think wheat malt would be a problem, I subbed it before for Carapils and everything tasted fine

Perhaps you shouldn't use a blowoff tube then... If CO2 is getting out and you're not concerned about a clog then there isn't really a need for a blowoff, I just like that extra comfort. As far as if you're keeping more beer that all depends on how much beer you lose through your airlock, but...

I wouldn't be overly worried about sterilization but I would clean your airlock out if there is beer in it. Also, I would put on a blowoff tube. I know you said you never needed one but in this scenario it sounds like you do, also it's much easier to attach a blowoff tube then to clean beer...

Ya I would make sure you rack your beer on top of your priming sugar.

Did you use your hydrometer?

Do you have a fan circulating the air to ensure that your lines are staying cool?

I use a racking cane and siphon the beer from secondary into the bottom of my keg. If I feel that I need to use a strainer I will wrap a muslin bag either around my racking cane or the end of my siphon hose. I'm not sure what you mean when you say pour your beer into the keg? You want to be...

I don't want to go to the hospital because of a broken carboy so I use better bottles. I have never had a problem with them and would highly recommend them. Price Payed: $35.00 Recommended? Yes Pros: See through, durable Cons: won't shatter
