Quick Water Requirements
Water Gallons  Quarts
WARNING: Mash tun capacity exceeded. Volume required: 13.24 gal (52.95 qt). Suggest reducing initial water volume to 8.79 gal (35.14 qt) and adding 1.24 gal (4.95 qt) sparge/top-off. 10.02 40.1  
Heat water added to kettle (equipment estimates 10.4 g | 41.6 qt) 10.02 40.1  
Mash volume with grains (equipment estimates 10.4 g | 41.6 qt) 13.24 53  
Grain absorption losses (steeping) -5.02 -20.1  
Mash Lauter Tun losses -0.25 -1  
Pre boil volume (equipment estimates 5.38 g | 21.5 qt) 5 20  
Boil off losses -0.38 -1.5  
Post boil volume 5 20  
Going into fermentor 5 20  
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

Add juice of lime(s) to 3 cups of water, bring to a boil then turn off heat. Steep teabags for 7-10 mins, cool for a few mins then add to carboy. Add nutrients and juice into carboy with an aggressive pour to help aerate the juice. Add yeast, put an airlock on then place in a cool (60F-70F) environment.

Primary for one month, then rack to secondary, topping off with juice. Leave in secondary until crystal clear (usually 2-3 months or so from pitching) then bottle with 4oz priming sugar.

Takes about a month to carbonate, tastes good after 3 months, but just gets better with age. I usually start opening bottles about 5 months after pitching.
