Hydrated coir at 5mL:1g, came out too dry/below field capacity, should I just add water?

I believe in one of bod's teks he writes to essentially multiply the weight of the coir brick used by 5 and that's how much water you should pasteurize with in mL. My brick was 665, which comes out to 3325mL or so. I guess since it boiled a little, water evaporated and I wound up adding less than that and now it seems dry; when I squeeze it as hard as I can, barely any drips come out.

Is this as simple as just adding some hot water? Or should I pasteurize new coir? Seems like a bit of a dumb question but I have good spawn this time around that I'd rather not waste.

Thanks

Yes.  Just add some hot water (to different areas to help it mix up equally).
