How big of a gaffe is this?

[Plinythelderphan]

I am brewing a Celebration Ale with extract and I accidentally used 1.5 lb of wheat extract instead of malt extract--I used 6.6 of syrup.

Dang it...

What is the whole recipe as you brewed it?

those malts and as usual a whole host of hops courtesy of Brew Magazine and Ken Grossman. The usuals, cascades/chinook/centennial.

Since wheat malt extract has a percentage of pale malt as part of its base I don't think you really made a gaffe at all.

I doubt you will notice it.

Side-by-side, this beer may have more chill haze, and better head retention.

Should taste fine.
