I ended up with 3.4 gallons and 1.031.
Nine hours after pitching the yeast it was burping through the airlock every 3 seconds.

Not very bitter for a Bitter. More like a light Mild.

Plus 6 more from the second addition = 25 along with the 1.031 S G meets the lower end of the BJCP guidelines for ordinary bitter.
