the directions i have are for a 2.5 gallon boil. i have 7 1 gallon water jugs from the grocery store. it would be much easier just to pour 3 into the pot and start boiling. do you do anything different with a larger boil?
 
The hop utilization will theoretically be a little higher with a less dense wort being boiled, but it shouldn't matter much at all with only a 0.5 gallon difference.
