Quick Water Requirements
Water Gallons  Quarts
WARNING: Boil kettle capacity (12 gal | 48 qt) exceeded. Volume required: 415.45 gal (1661.8 qt). Suggest reducing initial water volume to 12 gal (48 qt) and adding 403.45 gal (1613.8 qt) sparge/top-off.

Mash volume with grains (equipment estimates 556.13 g | 2224.5 qt) 648.53 2594.1  
Grain absorption losses (steeping) -144.38 -577.5  
Volume increase from sugar/extract (early additions) 3.69 14.8  
Pre boil volume 415.45 1661.8  
Boil off losses -2.25 -9  
Hops absorption losses (first wort, boil, aroma) -13.2 -52.8  
Post boil volume 400 1600  
Going into fermentor 400 1600  
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.
