Quick Water Requirements
Water Gallons  Quarts
WARNING: Boil kettle capacity (12 gal | 48 qt) exceeded. Volume required: 568.7 gal (2274.8 qt). Suggest reducing initial water volume to 12 gal (48 qt) and adding 556.7 gal (2226.8 qt) sparge/top-off.    
Heat water added to kettle (equipment estimates 693.7 g | 2774.8 qt) 725 2900  
Mash volume with grains (equipment estimates 693.7 g | 2774.8 qt) 805 3220  
Grain absorption losses (steeping) -125 -500  
Pre boil volume (equipment estimates 568.7 g | 2274.8 qt) 600 2400  
Boil off losses -1.5 -6  
Hops absorption losses (first wort, boil, aroma) -7.2 -28.8  
Post boil volume (equipment estimates 560 g | 2240 qt) 580 2320  
Going into fermentor (equipment estimates 580 g | 2320 qt) 560 2240  
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.
