Quick Water Requirements
Water Gallons  Quarts
WARNING: Boil kettle capacity (12 gal | 48 qt) exceeded. Volume required: 12.11 gal (48.45 qt). Suggest reducing initial water volume to 12 gal (48 qt) and adding 0.11 gal (0.45 qt) sparge/top-off.    
Heat water added to kettle (equipment estimates 15.29 g | 61.1 qt) 15.16 60.7  
Mash volume with grains (equipment estimates 15.29 g | 61.1 qt) 17.34 69.4  
Grain absorption losses (steeping) -3.41 -13.6  
Volume increase from sugar/extract (early additions) 0.23 0.9  
Pre boil volume (equipment estimates 12.11 g | 48.5 qt) 11.99 48  
Boil off losses -1.5 -6  
Hops absorption losses (first wort, boil, aroma) -0.11 -0.5  
Post boil volume (equipment estimates 10.5 g | 42 qt) 10.63 42.5  
Going into fermentor (equipment estimates 10.63 g | 42.5 qt) 10.5 42  
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.
