malted Maize/corn vs flaked corn

[KingPaul]

I am working on a recipe for a Newcastle Brown Ale Clone, and the recipe I am working from askes for flaked corn (1.3SRM) My two LBS that I support doesn't stock flaked corn, but one of them do have Malted Maize. Are there a difference between the two?
Thanks

weather you're using flakes are not, "maze is corn", when a recipe calls for corn we almost always use flaked maze, anything else like whole grain malted or not might be ok but mostly used for whiskey or moonshine, I would use flakes myself

You should be able to use them equally.
The malting process accesses the starches for conversion as does the flaking process.
I'd make sure to use them both with a base grain to have enough enzymes for conversion though.
Good luck,

Thanx guys. Like I said it is a recipe for a Brown Ale. The recipe that I'm working from calls for 65% pale malt and 10%flaked corn and the rest specialty malts. Not so sure that I am happy with that many specialty malts, will have to rethink everything before I brew

when I make cream ale I just use corn meal and minute rice from the store, I have used flaked corn and flaked rice

I cannot tell the difference
