What Grain Is This?

[neoresin]

Hi all,

Trying to identify what I got off of a homebrewer that was getting out of the hobby. He told me this was wheat malt, and though I'm inclined to believe him, it looks just a bit different to what I'm used to so I wanted to just get feedback on the appearance. Could it be that it's just de... husked? Is that a thing? (I guess it is a thing, though I've not used dehusked malt before. I assume maybe it's used for BIAB?)

Here's 2-row (recently purchased from a homebrew store, so I'm confident in this one) for reference:

The reason I also ask is that both kernels taste the same. Though I didn't try just wheat malt when I was doing my tastey-test.

Anyway, any feedback would be greatly appreciated! Anybody brew with this kind of grain before?

It looks like it probably is wheat malt to me, wheat doesn't have a husk.

^^ this.
That appears to be white wheat malt. Wheat is indeed huskless

Thank you so much for your replies! I'll assume it's wheat malt (are there other types other than white?).

White, red and unmalted.
