So there shouldn't be a problem if I add the extra gallon during the spurge

I am making Sam Adams Dopplebock. I have a 5 gal tun and almost 17 lbs of grain. I am only able to get 4 gallons of water into the tun. I know I need to end up with 6.5 gallons of whort. What do I need to do? Do I spurge 4.25 gallons of water to get to 6.5 gallons of whort? I don't feell...

Brewed it on APril 24 bottled it On May 9th. So 2 weeks exactly from brewing to bottling.
