Second all grain batch

when all was said and done I ended up with what looked like way less than 5 gallons in fermenter....I under estimated sparge water. What was I going to do, I added tap water to fermenter as cleanly as possible and pitched yeast. I met my OG with the initial amount and I didn't measure again as I figured I would be under at this point. Lesson learned. How will my black ipa come out given this scenario? I probably added a gallon of water to wort after I chilled down with immersion chiller. Essentially what can I expect from doing this?
 
A lower abv black IPA. You should be fine, I've done this too and it was fine, and extract methods you almost always do this. It'll be beer
