So I set out today to do a "tweak" of a Brew House (by RJ Spagnols) Cream Ale kit. It's supposed to yield a ruby porter. Basically you have a cream ale and add crystal malt and chocolate malt. The instructions are in the "Too Much Armour, Not Enough Porter" part of the link below:

The recipe should yield 5 gallons. I messed up and added the whole 15 litres of my Cream Ale wort instead of 3 gallons (about 12 litres). I thus have (you guessed it) 22 litres of beer going instead of the intended 19 litres. As an aside my LHBS didn't have Wyeast 1318 London Ale III so I used Wyeast 1029 London Ale instead (1 litre starter). My OG was 1.053.
What can I expect this kit to turn out like given the extra volume? Given that it was extra wort as opposed to extra water added should the effects of my mistake be minimal on the final product?
