Water Liters
Heat water added to kettle (equipment estimates 18.5 L) 13.9
Mash volume with grains (equipment estimates 18.5 L) 16
Grain absorption losses (steeping) -3.1
Mash Lauter Tun losses -0.9
Volume increase from sugar/extract (early additions) 0.2
Pre boil volume (equipment estimates 15.6 L) 11
Boil off losses -6.7
Hops absorption losses (first wort, boil, aroma) -0.1
Post boil volume (equipment estimates 8.8 L) 9.5
Going into fermentor (equipment estimates 9.5 L) 8.8
WARNING: Kettle losses > 2% detected which throw off OG calculation for extract/partial mash recipes in batch target 'fermentor' mode. Solution: Reduce kettle losses, misc losses and hops absorption in equipment profile, OR set batch target to 'kettle' and do a full wort boil. See batch target FAQ.
