Fullers London Pride clone help

I was looking for a clone for this beer and found this in BYO, apparently it's the brewmasters recipe converted to extract.
I cut and paste from BYO

Am I right in assuming that the water is topped up to 5 gallons before fermenting? It dosen't say to but reading it it looks like it, any help appreciated. Really want to get this in the pipeline 

Yeah, it should be topped up to 5 gallons. Just to be sure, I ran it through Beersmith, and it gave 4.7% ABV. Should work!

Thanks, it's one that I'm kinda liking at the min, my dad & BIL's like it to so this is getting lined up

So how was it ?

A bit sweet, like it hadn't fermented out properly (the FG was steady for 7 days before bottling) it is still conditioning in the hope that it improves with time..... I've since opened s pub and am moving my equipment down to the store there do that u can get back to brewing again, for private consumption only ..
