Have you pitch the yeast?
With SG at 1.01, it is probably already at your optimum FG.
IMO, dump it or add more LME or DME to make a 5 gallon batch.
You can use Beersmith to help you with the new calculation.
Of course, you'll need more hops too.

I'd go run to your LHBS and get about 4#'s on DME and some hops and boil that in.

I cant tell ig you have fermented it yet or not, but if not, couldn't he just boil the volume back down to 2 gal? Will take several hours but should work if unfermented, right?

Someday I'll stop procrastinating
Couldn't you just add more extract and boil it agian, even if yeast was pitched? I know it would be killed and would need to be repitched, but wouldn't it be the same thing as starting at the beginning?
