Quick Water Requirements
Water Liters
WARNING: Boil kettle capacity (45.4 L) exceeded. Volume required: 60.45 L. Suggest reducing initial water volume to 45.4 L and adding 15.05 L sparge/top-off.  
Heat water added to kettle (equipment estimates 71.9 L) 79.4
Mash volume with grains (equipment estimates 71.9 L) 86.9
Grain absorption losses (steeping) -11.4
Pre boil volume (equipment estimates 60.5 L) 68
Boil off losses -5.7
Hops absorption losses (first wort, boil, aroma) -0.8
Post boil volume (equipment estimates 54 L) 60
Going into fermentor (equipment estimates 60 L) 54
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.
