Brew day help

Help!

I'm currently brewing a London Pride clone from Wheelers book.

Somehow, I had to stop sparging way short of my target volume. I was hoping to collect 32 litres of wort but had to stop at 27 litres!

Should I still use the same amount of hops?

Have I wasted my morning?

no, not wasted at all.
you are looking at maybe a little less bitterness, and more body and strength if your OG is higher. if its a higher OG than expected just add a few litres back into the boil and continue as normal. if it's the same OG you expected, just carry on as usual. if it's lower, maybe add a little malt extract if you have any. it's a pretty trivial difference, and there's nothing wrong with more aroma hops hahah. omnomnom.
