Quick Water Requirements

WARNING: Boil kettle capacity (12 gal | 48 qt) exceeded. Volume required: 317.5 gal (1270 qt). Suggest reducing initial water volume to 12 gal (48 qt) and adding 305.5 gal (1222 qt) sparge/top-off.

Going into fermentor 310 1240  
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.
