Quick Water Requirements
Water Gallons  Quarts
WARNING: Boil kettle capacity (12 gal | 48 qt) exceeded. Volume required: 16.59 gal (66.35 qt). Suggest reducing initial water volume to 12 gal (48 qt) and adding 4.59 gal (18.35 qt) sparge/top-off.    
Boil water added to kettle (equipment estimates 15 g | 60 qt) 15.92 63.7  
Volume increase from sugar/extract (early additions) 1.58 6.3  
Pre boil volume (equipment estimates 16.59 g | 66.4 qt) 17.5 70  
Boil off losses -0.75 -3  
Hops absorption losses (first wort, boil, aroma) -0.11 -0.5  
Post boil volume (equipment estimates 15.73 g | 62.9 qt) 16.5 66  
Hops absorption losses (whirlpool, hop stand) -0.23 -0.9  
Going into fermentor (equipment estimates 16.28 g | 65.1 qt) 15.5 62  
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

I use oxygen from a small welding tank like they sell at home depot. With a diffusion stone and regulator. With valve slightly open for about 1 min.
