HELP. Crystal/Caramel 40L replacement

[walcotteric]

I have a recipe that calls for 0.75 lbs of Crystal 40L (out of about 13 pounds total grain). I somehow forgot to get it from the LHBS and they don't open today, but I want to brew today. Any grocery store substitutes I could use?

what's the recipe? maybe it won't make a huge difference...

Do you have any other specialty malts on hand?

Any Crystal/Cara that is close should be Ok, not the same but close. What style of beer are you making?

If you have time and want something close you could try this: http://drinks.seriouseats.com/2012/...n-crystal-malt-for-beer-how-to-technique.html
