Witbier with cracked wheat?

[brownni5]

I've got a witbier coming up and have plenty of flaked wheat for the grist. A couple weeks ago I picked up some cracked wheat for some extra starch in a Lambic. I've got all this cracked raw wheat sitting around and don't know what to do with it. How would subbing cracked wheat for some or all of the flaked wheat affect the flavor of the finished beer? As I understand it, a cereal mash would be necessary, correct? Just something different to try.

Ok, after further research, a cereal mash would not be necessary. Still begs the question, an I getting anything different from cracked vs. flaked wheat? I guess I should have paid closer attention to efficiency when I used it in the Lambic/Golden sour mash.
