Question on Crystal Malt

[yournotpeter]

I have some leftover 40L and 120L crystal malt. I'm making a recipe that calls for .5 lbs of 80L. Is it possible to use .25 lbs of 40L and .25 lbs of 120L as a replacement? Thanks!!

The color may work out the same, but the flavor wont be the same. Depending on what you are brewing I'd say go for it.

I'm doing an Oatmeal Stout...thoughts?

Could be better - the 120 would add a bit of toffee flavor (vs caramel of the 60 and 40). You never know until you try!
