So I bottled my first extract brew today and got about three bottles into it and realized that I had less than what the kit said it would make (23 liters). Obviously I didn't add enough water after I transferred the wort into the primary, now it makes perfect sense why I had such a hard time getting it to cool before pitching. Just wondering what the repercussions will be if any?
 
If you added sugar for the full 23 liters but only came out with 18 liters then you may have somewhat overcarbonated, but probably not by enough to be a serious problem. A more experienced brewer would know for sure.
