Quick Water Requirements
Water Gallons  Quarts
WARNING: Boil kettle capacity (12 gal | 48 qt) exceeded. Volume required: 13 gal (51.99 qt). Suggest reducing initial water volume to 12 gal (48 qt) and adding 1 gal (3.99 qt) sparge/top-off.    
Heat water added to kettle (equipment estimates 16.93 g | 67.7 qt) 17.81 71.2  
Mash volume with grains (equipment estimates 16.93 g | 67.7 qt) 20.33 81.3  
Grain absorption losses (steeping) -3.94 -15.8  
Pre boil volume (equipment estimates 13 g | 52 qt) 13.87 55.5  
Boil off losses -1.5 -6  
Hops absorption losses (first wort, boil, aroma) -0.16 -0.7  
Post boil volume (equipment estimates 11.33 g | 45.3 qt) 12.33 49.3  
Hops absorption losses (whirlpool, hop stand) -0.33 -1.3  
Going into fermentor (equipment estimates 12 g | 48 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.
