I did my first all-grain on Saturday, and it mostly went okay I thought... except I didn't take into account the amount of wort I would lose due to avoiding the trub/hot break material at the bottom of the boil kettle after cooling it. As a result, I ended up with about 4.7 gallons, but was shooting for 5.25 or so. Though, my OG readings seemed pretty close, despite my being off on volume. I guessing that is just a result of poor efficiency of the mash and sparge (I forgot to take a reading immeditely after collecting all the wort in the kettle... sigh).
What ill effects can I expect to see/taste in the finish product? I'm guessing it will be a darker color obviously, and that I will have to adjust my priming sugar levels accordingly, but any other common things that accompany this situation?
