did a full boil for the first time last night. It was a coopers all extract IPA. I started with 6 gallons of water thinking that I'd boil about a gallon off in an hour. Long story short, after I chilled my wort and removed the immersion chiller, I realize that I did not boil off a gallon. I transfer to my 5 gallon carboy and it will not all fit. I had about 1/2 to 3/4 of a gallon leftover. What is this going to do to my beer? Is it going to effect taste? Should I add more fermentables? Should I just leave it alone? I pitched last night and the yeasties are working away, so all things look normal. My concern is, what will the effect be on the final product?
