I'm getting ready to bottle my first brew this evening and I think I'm probably at least a half gallon or so shy of 5 gallons? Can I boil some water, cool it and add it to the wort or just adjust my priming sugar mix a little and don't sweat it?
Should I adjust the priming sugar mixture?
Yes. If you have 4.5 gallons instead of 5, you'll want to use 1/2 ounce (by weight) less priming sugar.

You could. Do you just have the 5oz priming sugar pack from your LHBS?
