I made a yeast starter yesterday with WLP001 California Ale Yeast for my brew day tomorrow and just noticed that I don't have enough Pale Ale malt (have around 5.5lb and need 11lb) for the recipe. So now I'm in a bit of a pickle and was wondering what I should do. I have two more yeasts in the fridge (WLP510 Bastogne Ale and WLP566 Belgian Saison II). With those I have recipes for an Orval clone and a standard saison which I have the ingredients for but the OG of both are rather high (~1.056) to not use a starter and both yeasts were manufactured in October so I really don't trust that they will perform perfectly.
So my question is, do I just go ahead and brew a saison or the Orval clone and wait until next week for the American Pale ale or does anybody have any nice suggestions for a beer that could work with WLP001 and Pilsner malt as a base (I have Dingemans)? I could also maybe go half-half on the base malt as I still have those 5.5lbs of Maris Otter. I have plenty of crystals, Munich, amber, biscuit, wheat, chocolate, black, etc and I have a ton of different European and American hops so I'm really open to any suggestions.
Thanks!
Edit: I should mention that I do 5.5 gallon AG batches
