    Most of us did that when we were doing extract. Its called full volume boil. Its like making soup, you want it all together not strong concentrated soup that you add water to before you eat it.

    sure...but I would calc your pre-boil volume so you wind up with 5 post boil rather than just starting with 6 and trying to adjust to 5.

    PLUS, don't forget to adjust your bittering hops. You'll use about 1/2 of the bittering hops or one with a lower AA%

    I still do extract batches and I always do a full volume boil. The results are markedly improved by using a larger volume boil IME.
