Too much water?

[Action Jack]

I tried a search and didn't see an answer to this. I brewed for the second time today and decided to undertake a Porter. I borrowed my buddies extract recipe using steeping grains but had to make a couple of substitutions due to what the homebrew store had in stock.

Everything was going along awesome, I was Johnny on spot with my sanitizing and with my times for everything. The problem arose when I was chilling my wort with my wort chiller. I topped off my pot to 5 gallons. I then put my bucket to the side and forgot to dump out the remaining water that was in the bucket which was about a quart.

I then started to aereate my wort by pouring back and forth from my pot to the bucket through a strainer to catch the hops. As I started pouring I realized there was still the quart of water in the bucket and I was now at a point of no return.

How much will this extra quart of water effect the finished product?

probably not by a noticeable amount. You will get a very small dilution of the flavors and alcohol percentage, but it will most certainly be beer, probably good beer at that.

yeah, you're all good.

Well it sure isn't affecting fermentation at all since I just got back from work and it's going like crazy.
