Substitute for Crystal 125L

[1vh1]

Let me preface my question by saying that I am new to the world of grain...

A recipe I want to make calls for 4oz Crystal 125L- but my brew shop doesn't carry this grain. What "kind" of grain is this and what should I substitute it with?

 

[permo]

special B would be OK.

Crystal 120L is a very common crystal malt. Any decent brew shop should have it.

Special B, or any lower numbered crystal would work Such as crystal 80, Simpsons Extra Dark Crystal would also work.It wont be exactly the same taste wise, but it would work.
