Quick question about Crystal and CaraMunich

I've done a little searching but haven't found too much information.

Are the German/Weyermann Cara-malts, eg. CaraMunich, CaraAmber, CaraHell etc malts any different to normal Crystal/Caramel malts? Can I substitute without too much taste difference?

My LHBS only carries, Light Cara (15L), Crystal (75L), and Dk Crystal (120L) but has recently got a bunch of the above Weyermann malts in.

If a recipe calls for Crystal 40L could I substitute CaraAmber (36L)?

Or if it calls for Crystal 60L could I sub Caramunich II (63L) or would I better off sub'ing the LHBS Crystal 75L?

Cheers and beers,

Glenim.

Here is the grain reference I use, it looks like alot of the "Cara" malts are just commercial names for the various crystal malts. I would say to try it and see what happens, i doubt it will result in a bad beer.

Yes they are often named just for commercial reasons. For example, Carahell is a malt often used in Helles style beers whereas Carapils is used in Pilsners, etc..

Ok, cheers, I'll just use them as substitutes unless someone pops up to say that I'm totally wrong.

Thanks.
