Hops absorption losses (first wort, boil, aroma) -0.07 -0.3  
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.    
Total: 2.6 10.4

Notes

Fermenting at low ale temps, so updated yeast to WLP 925.
Alternate choices: Fast Lager WLP 845; or SF Lager WLP 810
