Quick Water Requirements
Water Gallons  Quarts
Heat water added to kettle (equipment estimates 6.11 g | 24.5 qt) 5.58 22.3  
Mash volume with grains (equipment estimates 6.11 g | 24.5 qt) 5.68 22.7  
Grain absorption losses (steeping) -0.16 -0.6  
Volume increase from sugar/extract (early additions) 0.58 2.3  
Pre boil volume (equipment estimates 6.54 g | 26.2 qt) 6 24  
Boil off losses -1.5 -6  
Hops absorption losses (first wort, boil, aroma) -0.04 -0.2  
Post boil volume 5 20  
Going into fermentor 5 20  
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: 5.58 22.3

Notes

Age extra two weeks in secondary as yeast gives substantial sulfur notes. Still detected at bottling, wanes with age
