Quick Water Requirements
Water Gallons  Quarts
WARNING: Boil kettle capacity (12 gal | 48 qt) exceeded. Volume required: 12.6 gal (50.41 qt). Suggest reducing initial water volume to 12 gal (48 qt) and adding 0.6 gal (2.41 qt) sparge/top-off.    
Heat water added to kettle (equipment estimates 15.48 g | 61.9 qt) 16.88 67.5  
Mash volume with grains (equipment estimates 15.48 g | 61.9 qt) 18.72 74.9  
Grain absorption losses (steeping) -2.88 -11.5  
Pre boil volume (equipment estimates 12.6 g | 50.4 qt) 14 56  
Boil off losses -1.5 -6  
Hops absorption losses (first wort, boil, aroma) -0.1 -0.4  
Post boil volume (equipment estimates 11 g | 44 qt) 11.75 47  
Going into fermentor (equipment estimates 11.75 g | 47 qt) 11 44  
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.
