Help please - Long brewed Festival Landlord

[slowdave]

Is there anything I can do to save a Festival Landlord kit that I have brewed at 25 ltr instead of 23 ltr.
I inherited an FV from FIL and suffice to say that the litre graduations are 2 ltrs out.

It's been fermenting for a week and there is still a little bit of airlock activity.
I have about 400grms of brewing sugar - It there any point adding this?
Is the brew wasted or should I just leave it and enjoy as a more "session" beer

Thanks.

It will be fine, just a slightly lower abv than you expected

It will be about 0.3%ABV less than it should have been. Using about 150g of your brewing sugar will restore the ABV to about what it should have been, and I reckon you are unlikely to notice any thinning of the beer, but if you are going to use it do it now.
The choice is yours.

Thanks for the advice, I'll leave it alone.

Whatever you do, don't throw it out!!!!!
It will still be beer, just slightly less abv than you were expecting. You may not even notice the difference.

Great advice guys - tasted awful at bottling but had the first conditioned bottle this evening - It's absolutely cracking.
Lesson learnt.
