Quick Water Requirements
Water Liters
WARNING: Boil kettle capacity (45.4 L) exceeded. Volume required: 62.7 L. Suggest reducing initial water volume to 41.7 L and adding 17.3 L sparge/top-off.  
Heat water added to kettle (equipment estimates 55.4 L) 56.4
Mash volume with grains (equipment estimates 55.4 L) 57
Grain absorption losses (steeping) -0.9
Volume increase from sugar/extract (early additions) 4.5
Pre boil volume (equipment estimates 59 L) 60
Volume increase from sugar/extract (late additions) 3.7
Boil off losses -5.7
Hops absorption losses (first wort, boil, aroma) -2
Post boil volume 55
Top off amount 65

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.
