Um . . . . fellas?

I realized last night that the can of LME for my Muntons pilsner style ale was 4 lbs, not 3 lbs. I added 3 lbs of spraymalt extra light DME to bring it up to what I thought was 6 lbs of fermentables, but was in fact was 7.

And because I was a bit worried about the head room in my 6.5 gallon fermentation bucket, I mixed it in a 5.5 gallon batch instead of 6.

Didn't figure that would hurt anything, but now that I've got an extra pound in there, what should I expect?

Brewed on Oct. 21 and started fermenting overnight. Continuing to ferment now on the morning of the 25th.

If the yeast you used has a high attenuation then you'll end up with a beer that has more alcohol ; otherwise it will have a high FG and come out a little sweeter than you expected.

It will just end up being a bigger beer (Higher OG). Enjoy it since it will still be beer. It will just have more alcohol than you expected.

I can live with either of those.

BTW, welcome to the forums and please enjoy brewing. You'll learn a lot over the next few years. It's an awesome and relaxing ride.
