Quick Water Requirements

Heat water added to kettle (equipment estimates 6.04 g | 24.2 qt) 2.68 10.7  
Mash volume with grains (equipment estimates 6.04 g | 24.2 qt) 2.73 10.9  
Grain absorption losses (steeping) -0.08 -0.3  
Volume increase from sugar/extract (early additions) 0.9 3.6  
Pre boil volume (equipment estimates 6.86 g | 27.5 qt) 3.5 14  
Boil off losses -1.5 -6  
Hops absorption losses (first wort, boil, aroma) -0.11 -0.5  
Post boil volume 5.25 21  
Going into fermentor 5.25 21  
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.

Notes

While steeping grains, put all spices in a small sauce pan with 4 cups of water. Bring to boil for 15 mins. Cover and remove from heat. Continue to let steep until last 10 mins. of boil and then add to wort.
