Can wheat malt be substituted for flaked wheat

[FleEsq]

Preparing to do a NEIPA I don't want to buy flaked wheat when I have bulk wheat malt available.
Can I substitute one for the other? is there a conversion.

Sorry if this is a stupid question.

Ya you can use wheat malt instead. It won't be quite the same, but I've used it in NEIPA's with success before. For subbing, just sub 1-1 unless you know the potential extract of each. You will probably get a little more extract (higher OG) using wheat malt though.

Yeah. It won’t taste exactly the same, but both will convert and bothe will taste like wheat.

I think of wheat malt as a softer taste and flakes as a thinner dryer taste. If you’re only using a little bit I wouldn’t worry about it.
