I think I didnt top off to 5 gallons

[grem135]

I forgot to mark of the 5 gallon mark on my carboy and may not have added enough top off water before pitching yeast. It's a BB Witbier and and I got a OG of 1.052 and didnt think much of it being high. after 1 week I checked FG and it is 1.012 for 5.25%abv kit says it should be 4.75%. Since I brewed this hoping my wife will like it ( she likes schafely hefe and Boulevard unfiltered wheat) I was wondering if its ok to add some water to bring the FG back down and if so how much should I add. If she tastes to much alcohol in it she probably wont like it.
BTW it smells great and tastes better than my english brown ale did warm and flat
thanks for your help

No, don't add water at this point. A 5.2% wheat should still be nice and light and not have any alcohol taste.

+1 Messing with it now is a bad idea.

I just made a 5.2% wit and it tastes great. Very light and the SWMBO loves it. I'd just leave it be.
