Is my beer ruined, or how will my beer turn out?

I was measuring out the grain for and oatmeal stout; I grabbed the pale wheat instead of the pale ale. So, in an eight gallon (no sparge batch) I will have 8 pounds of pale wheat and 7 pounds of pale ale. Total grain is ~21 lbs. Maybe I’ll call it “½ whit-stout”.

Monaghan can chime in on this one. IIRC the results were drinkable, unusual, but drinkable.
The usefulness of opinion is itself matter of opinion.

I still have a keg of it from well over a year ago. It's drinkable, but I am no fan of it. You've already invested the time to brew it. Might as well see it through to the end. You never know, it could be great.
Cheers!
