Not enough malt extract

[PoofaceJoe]

Just started my second batch last night. After the boil and adding yeast, realized I messed up and was short 1 pound of the amber malt extract. Honey brown ale. Called for 5.5 pounds amber extract and 1.5 pounds honey. only added 4.5 pounds of malt extract. Gravity should hAve been 1.060 and ended up being 1.052. How will this effect this batch? Should I leave it or start over?

You just made a slightly lower gravity beer. Nothing more....Just let it go.

Just leave it. You'll still end up with a tasty beer, it'll just have a lower abv than you expected (I'd guess in the 5.1-5.5% range).
