Water Liters
Boil water added to kettle (equipment estimates 27.9 L) 26.5
Volume increase from sugar/extract (early additions) 3.5
Pre boil volume (equipment estimates 31.4 L) 30
Volume increase from sugar/extract (late additions) 0.2
Boil off losses -5.7
Hops absorption losses (first wort, boil, aroma) -0.5
Post boil volume 25.5
Hops absorption losses (whirlpool, hop stand) -0.5
Going into fermentor 25
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.  
Total: 26.5  
Equipment Profile Used: System Default
 
Notes

Bake the chili in the oven until soft. Finely chop (be careful, use gloves). Put in a small bag and boil for 5 min.

To avoid oxidation: Add dry hops and chili early, on day 3 or 4. Cold crash after 10-11 days. Do not rack to secondary, just fill the bottles and use carbonation drops.
