flaked rye and rye malt

[uncommonsense]

What the differnce (other then ones flaked and was still in grain form). Why would I us one and not the other or would I use both.

Shameless self bump for knowledge.

Good read on brewing with rye.

According to that thread it states that flaked rye doesn't contribute as many gravity points as malted rye... yet in programs like beer smith it has a higher OG - 1.029 for malted rye and 1.03-something for flaked. I'm just wondering who is correct on that subject..

Rye malt has higher level of beta-glucans making lautering much more problematic, even if you step mash with long beta-glucan rest in 116F. Flavor-wise, i did not notice much differences in beers with ~20% of each in grain bills.

My flaked rye has 81% of carbohydrates, so it's clearly much more than in rye malt, eg. the one from Steinbach Malzerei, which has yield of ~70%.
