Boil water added to kettle (equipment estimates 3.65 g | 14.6 qt) 2.68 10.7

Going into fermentor 2.5 10  
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.    
Total: 2.68 10.7
Equipment Profile Used: System Default
 
Notes

also consider 3822 pc yeast or 3787 (High grav / westmalle)

Will look again at BLAM book - seems like with just current mix of malt extracts, could be a very flat flavor profile (the 20% addition traditional dark DME would add 10% Munich and about 2% caramel overall).
