Unexpected present

My plans today were to make a 10 gallon partial mash. An altbier as the base wort, then a separate grain tea to make a porter out one. Well, last night, at a very fun St. Patty's day party, I was given 5 gallons of reverse osmosis sap. OG 1.030 What to do?
So I'm turning the all grain grains into an old ale. German pale ale, dark munich, 4 different crystal malts, some East Kent Goldings and a blend of European ale and London yeasts. Starting gravity looks like the mid-70's so I think I'll add all the yeast that I was going to use for the 10 gallons. That's the plan....boiling right now.
