Quick Water Requirements
Water Gallons  Quarts
WARNING: Boil kettle capacity (12 gal | 48 qt) exceeded. Volume required: 33.62 gal (134.48 qt). Suggest reducing initial water volume to 12 gal (48 qt) and adding 21.62 gal (86.48 qt) sparge/top-off.    
Heat water added to kettle (equipment estimates 41.12 g | 164.5 qt) 42.5 170  
Mash volume with grains (equipment estimates 41.12 g | 164.5 qt) 47.3 189.2  
Grain absorption losses (steeping) -7.5 -30  
Pre boil volume (equipment estimates 33.62 g | 134.5 qt) 35 140  
Boil off losses -1.5 -6  
Hops absorption losses (first wort, boil, aroma) -0.12 -0.5  
Post boil volume 32 128  
Going into fermentor 32 128  
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.
