Over watered

[Rover69]

Hi all just signed up to site.
Started a Brewferm Wit bier kit yesterday,my first kit.15ltr kit but through my lack of attention is now a 17ltr kit.
Does anyone know if this is now ruined or just going to be a really weak beer?

Meant to say first reading was 1064 then took a second reading and not even showing 1000.Yeast in and now airlock bubbling away nicely.

It's just going to be a little bit weaker than it would have been otherwise, don't worry about it.
Adding two litres of water will take it down to about 1056. See Dilution And Boiloff Gravity Calculator - Brewer's Friend

Thanks Richard, water temp bang on so feel better about it now.Heard about long and short brews but wasn't sure how much long can go before very low alcohol.
First lesson learned,don't get distracted .
