Too Much Water (newbie)

[Hefty]

Hi guys,
I've made a few brews before but am only just starting to get a little more serious about it.
I've just put on a dutch lager but in getting the temperature down I miscalculated and I added about 2 or 3 litres more water than the kit asked for. I know this will effect the OG and thus the FG but will it have any other negative effects on the body or flavour of the beer?

Jono.

Lower OG, lower FG, less body and maybe a little less flavour.

A 23L batch I dunno that I'd worry too much.. but if it has got you worried you could always boil up 500g of malt in a litre of water, wait for it to cool and chuck that in.

If it's only a small difference, I might leave it and brew another to compare. I'm keen to do a few of the same style to see how consistent I can get and what things I can/should/might vary.

Thanks!

I'd just leave it and take note of how it turns out. As said it will be a little thinner and have a bit less flavour but should be fine.

I did a two can batch of dark ale, and used 25L. nothing wrong happened, its quite good. not sure about a lager, but with a pretty bitter ale no problems with an extra L or 2. then again im a newbie as well and thats just from my 1 experience
