Water Gallons  Quarts
WARNING: Boil kettle capacity (12 gal | 48 qt) exceeded. Volume required: 331.76 gal (1327.05 qt). Suggest reducing initial water volume to 12 gal (48 qt) and adding 319.76 gal (1279.05 qt) sparge/top-off.    
Heat water added to kettle (equipment estimates 417.45 g | 1669.8 qt) 425.69 1702.8

Pre boil volume (equipment estimates 331.76 g | 1327.1 qt) 340 1360  
Boil off losses -1.5 -6

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.
