I picked up some of this when I was at a brewstore in the netherlands. Is this the same as Crystal 120L or does the cara mean something? I also picked up one called cara-red 40L... is this just crystal 40?

cara = caramel = crystal

You'll see it called several different things, but it's all the same.

The cara-red makes it seem like they used some kind of red malt, but I don't know off hand what it might have been.

FYI: cara-pils is caramelized pilsner malt and cara-munich is caramelized munich malt.
