Because what you will do to fix it is add more water to your mash/sparge which will only dilute the wort.

Well you see, that's the thing. I could have collected more without adding more sparge water. I had a bit more sparge leftover on top my grain bed, and i believe i could have easily gathered another 1/2 gallon or more to the wort.

I guess this is where i think that my efficiency might not change as much, because i'm still extracting the sugars. I understand if i'm upping my sparge volume.

Again, I think i will only know for sure when i brew my next batch.
