WARNING: Boil kettle capacity (12 gal | 48 qt) exceeded. Volume required: 30.51 gal (122.05 qt). Suggest reducing initial water volume to 12 gal (48 qt) and adding 18.51 gal (74.05 qt) sparge/top-off.

Grain absorption losses (steeping) -8.82 -35.3  
Pre boil volume (equipment estimates 30.51 g | 122.1 qt) 34 136  
Boil off losses -1.5 -6  
Hops absorption losses (first wort, boil, aroma) -0.01 -0.1

Going into fermentor (equipment estimates 31 g | 124 qt) 29 116  
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.
