Notes

Golden Light LME has a density of 11.78 lbs/gal at 80F
A 3.15 lbs bottle thus has a volume of 3.15/11.78 = 0.27 gal

Grain bill: 18 lbs (0.32 quarts/lb 18 lbs / 4 quarts/gal = 1.44 gal)
Batch size: 5.5 gal
Mash temp: 153
Boil time: 60 min

Absorbed water vol: 0.035 gal/lb 18 lbs = 0.63 gal
Default absorb: 0.045 gal/lb (squeeze bag) - 0.031 gal/lb (no squeeze)

Into fermenter: 5.5 gal (-0.3 gal trub)
Post boil wort: 5.8 gal (-1.25 gal boiloff)
Preboil wort: 7.05 gal (+0.27 gal LME)
Pre LME add: 6.78 gal (-2.07 gal wet grain)
Total mash vol: 8.85 gal (+1.44 gal dry grain)
Strike water: 7.41 gal
Strike temp: 163F
