Heat water added to kettle (equipment estimates 8.6 g | 34.4 qt) 4.56 18.3  
Mash volume with grains (equipment estimates 8.6 g | 34.4 qt) 5.56 22.3  
Grain absorption losses (steeping) -1.56 -6.3

Boil off losses -1.5 -6  
Hops absorption losses (first wort, boil, aroma) -0.04 -0.2  
Post boil volume 5.5 22  
Going into fermentor 5.5 22  
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.
