60L vs 80L

[brew2you]

Quick question. What is the difference between 60L and 80L Crystal Malt. I have two different recipes for the same beer. One calls for 8oz of 60L while the other calls for 1# of 80L. I have 40L Crystal. Can I make this beer and how much Grain should I use?

Ummm, the difference it 20 Lovbond. Lol. Don't sub your specialty malts if you're shooting for a specific beer, they are NOT interchangeable.
