Quick Water Requirements
Water Gallons  Quarts
WARNING: Boil kettle capacity (12 gal | 48 qt) exceeded. Volume required: 12.19 gal (48.75 qt). Suggest reducing initial water volume to 12 gal (48 qt) and adding 0.19 gal (0.75 qt) sparge/top-off.    
WARNING: Mash tun capacity exceeded. Volume required: 17.14 gal (68.56 qt). Suggest reducing initial water volume to 10.38 gal (41.54 qt) and adding 5.14 gal (20.56 qt) sparge/top-off. 15.53 62.1  
Heat water added to kettle (equipment estimates 14.71 g | 58.9 qt) 15.53 62.1  
Mash volume with grains (equipment estimates 14.71 g | 58.9 qt) 17.14 68.6  
Grain absorption losses (steeping) -2.53 -10.1  
Mash Lauter Tun losses -0.25 -1  
Pre boil volume (equipment estimates 12.19 g | 48.8 qt) 13 52  
Boil off losses -1.5 -6  
Hops absorption losses (first wort, boil, aroma) -0.19 -0.8  
Post boil volume (equipment estimates 10.5 g | 42 qt) 11 44  
Going into fermentor (equipment estimates 11 g | 44 qt) 10.5 42  
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

made a 200ml starter - split between batches

Used all Tim's equipment. Mashed in and hit 154 - held for an hour. Recirculated and sparged for too long but collected 12g. of wort that was slightly too high. Topped up and was fine - should have had 9g. of sparge water, not 8.

First runnings: 1.085
Last: 1.015

Boiled and cooled (gravity through Tim's plate chiller) to 60. Pitched yeast into 2 carboys. Activity in 12 hours - through the airlocks (twice) in the next 24 hours - good yeast pack on the bottom and top!

Fermented 17 days and crashed for 5. Kegged and carbonated -tasted good at begging! Didn't get all the way to 12 as it was supposed to, so maybe 2 separate 1000ml starters would have been better than splitting the one 2000ml starter up.
