I just brewed up my third ever batch. It's a lager. I made a little
booboo, I added a too much water to the primary fermenter. So
now, instead of ~5 gallons, I've probably got close to 5.5-5.7 gallons.
I'm a little concerned about the beer coming out too watered down. Will
this be a problem? Anything I can do about it?

Thanks,
jd

Don't worry about it. It will be fine

What was your OG? Was it in the expected range? If it was you probably won't
see a difference, if it was low you will have a ligth beer.

Your problem might be in the carbonation stage. When you change the amount
of beer you must also change the amount of priming suger(corn) to reflect
the volume change. Easy soloutuion: dump out the .5-.7 gallons before
bottling and priming. Yes the beer might be too watery, but at least it will
be carbonated propperly.
