After several successful attempts to attract gnats and grow mold I finally pieced the puzzle together for sprouting wheat.

Day 1 soak the seeds for 8 - 12 hours make sure you stir them up with your fingers so all seeds get wet.

Day 2 - 4 flood with water then drain and loosely cover. Day 2 and 3 I use another container to keep the seeds in while draining, after that they have a root mat and you can just use your hand to hold them in while draining. In my case the sprouts are at the top of the container lifting the lid at day 4 so they go to a window shelf.

Day 5 up to harvest flood with water then drain and put where there is some light.

Day 1 - 4

The window shelf, note the one on the far left is some wheat feed that does not sprout well.

Awesome tips! Do the containers have drainage holes?

No, I use a second container to hold the seeds back when I pour the water out.
