I have a recipe that calls for Crystal 45 -- Is Crystal 40 the closest?
Crystal 45 Substitute?

All Crystal numbers are approximate. So 40 or 50 will do.
One could always get out the old TI-82 and figure out percentages of 40L and 60L to make a 45L crystal mix.

While I understand the funny (especially the Ti-82) There are bigger flavor differences between 40 and 60.
Once when I was a newbie I needed 60 and a LHBS said I could buy 120 and just cut in in half . . . . . . . Rrrrrright!!! LOL

since 40L and 60L are the most prominent I would just rock like 75% 40L and 25% 60L should get you close enough. I have made similar recipes that called for 45L and just used 50 or 60 instead... its a recipe they are made with very fuzzy borders, alter at will!!!!
And the small percentage of 60L would hardly make a noticeable difference in flavor.
