Is torified wheat "puffed wheat"? or is it puffed wheat that has been rolled?

I happen to have some puffed wheat and wondered whether I can use it in place of torified wheat, I also have barley flakes, is that a suitable replacement?

Sugar Puffs without the sugar

It looks a bit like micro popcorn still in a husk. If that makes sense

This is what Wiki has to say about it
Flaked barley is unmalted, dried barley which has been rolled into flat flakes. It imparts a rich, grainy flavor to beer and is used in many stouts, especially Guinness stout; it also improves head formation and retention.
Torrefied wheat is used in British brewing to increase the size and retention of a head in beer. Generally it is used as an enhancer rather than for its flavor.

GW's book covers it in more detail though.

I think you can swap one for the other without problems

Can you imagine trying to get those into the mash tun. One for mash, one for me..............

I would not want to put a lot in, they take a lot of tun space up. Thanks for clearing up what it was, seems to appear in a lot of recipes and thought I should get some. I'll pick up some chocolate malt at the weekend then I can cover most recipes (I have xtal and black malt).

Might as well pick up a few cans of Cooper's stout whilst I'm at it

Forget the sugarpuffs and chocolate malt. Just go straight for the coco pops

I Brewed on the weekend with Maris otter, Chocolate malt and Crystal. I love the smell of chocolate malt

I like to use Wheat Malt as a subsitute for any recipes using Torrefied Wheat.
