I just made my first batch of beer about a week and half ago. When I was brewing it I made the wort and got it into the fermentor. I filled it to the line with water. I just found out today that the 6.5 gallon bucket I have is actually a 5 gallon so the line is at 4 gallons. This means my batch is a gallon short on water. I know I will have to change the amount of priming sugar, but how will this affect my beer. Here is the info of what I am making
Brewers best american amber kit and is in the secondary fermentor and has been dry hopped. Is this going to work being so short on water? Thanks
 
You'll be fine. Just use 80% of the priming sugar that you normally would. Your beer will probably be a little stronger than normal, but that's not really a bad thing. :D
