Quick Water Requirements

Heat water added to kettle (equipment estimates 10.14 g | 40.6 qt) 7.06 28.3  
Mash volume with grains (equipment estimates 10.14 g | 40.6 qt) 8.38 33.5  
Grain absorption losses (steeping) -2.06 -8.3  
Pre boil volume (equipment estimates 8.08 g | 32.3 qt) 5 20  
Boil off losses -3 -12  
Hops absorption losses (first wort, boil, aroma) -0.08 -0.3  
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.
