The usual ratio is 2.5L/kg, so for 4kg that would be 10L of water. If you used 18L that is a ratio of 4.5L/kg which might affect fermentablility a tad but otherwise is perfectly fine. A thicker mash allows for a longer sparge which improves efficiency a bit, but don't worry it won't have any noticeable effect on your beer.

All the best on your first AG, keep us posted on how it goes.

Don't worry if things don't go to plan for for your first few brews, as long as your sanitation is good it's quite difficult to make a bad AG beer.
