Quick Water Requirements
Water Gallons  Quarts
WARNING: Boil kettle capacity (12 gal | 48 qt) exceeded. Volume required: 1193.45 gal (4773.8 qt). Suggest reducing initial water volume to 12 gal (48 qt) and adding 1181.45 gal (4725.8 qt) sparge/top-off.

Hops absorption losses (first wort, boil, aroma) -13.2 -52.8  
Post boil volume 1178 4712  
Going into fermentor 1178 4712  
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.

Notes

Mash 1/3 in at 158 F for 20 minutes. Decoct for 20 minutes. Finish mash in to hit 131 F for 10 minutes. Use steam to step up to 145 and rest for 45 minutes. Use steam to step up to 158 for 20 minutes. Send 2/3 of mash to later tun. Decoct remaining mash for 20 minutes then send over to later to reach mash out temperature.

Ferment at 48 degrees and cap tank once hydrogen sulfide sulfur has diminished and beer is 1-2 Plato above expected terminal. (Perhaps letting it rise up 54 helped scrub sulfur?) Once FDTs are passed slowing begin crashing 2 degrees everyday until 32 is reached. Keep cold for 4 weeks. Total tank residency time approx 6 weeks.
