accidentally used crystal 60 not crystal 10

obviously it's going to be a dark color. will the flavor be much off ?

No doubt it will have a different flavor, but you will have beer so I wouldn't sweat it. How different really depends on how much you used and what you were trying to make/your recipe.

More caramel flavor than the honey you'll get from the 10. But as in the previous post, it will depend on how much of the grain bill it is

thanks guys though, so nothing to worry about except color really.
... either way how bad can it be.

i cracked up the grains in a blender and steeped really long and low and ... it looks like porter

Pale ale/borderline IPA then? It's not a problem swapping the 10 for the 60, slightly different flavor contribution as mentioned. It will probably be orange to amber in color when it's done (pales often look dark red and ambers look dark brown in the fermenter due to the larger volume).
