Can I add anymore water?

I brewed a Brown Ale tonight. The first time I did a Friday brew.

Here is the recipe.

River Tyne Brown Ale

8 lbs English Pale Malt
4 oz Chocolate
4 oz Crystal 120L
1 oz Fuggles (60)
1 oz Fuggles (2)
Irish Moss
White Labs British Ale Yeast

Mash:
I added 2.75 galons of water at 168 degrees and let it mash for 60 minutes. Sparged at 170 for another 60 minutes.

Boil:
Once the hot break too place, I added the first hop addition. 35 minutes into the boil, I noticed the quantity boiled down so I added 2 qts,

After the Irish Moss (35), I sank the chiller. At 2 minutes I added the remaining hops.It took 20 minutes to get the temp down to 100. I siphoned to a 6 gallon carboy.

I added the yeast and aerated.

The quantity appears low. I will take a gravity reading after the primary is complete to compensate. Its too late to deal with it tonight.
