Quick Water Requirements
Water Gallons  Quarts
Heat water added to kettle (equipment estimates 6.24 g | 25 qt) 2.78 11.1  
Mash volume with grains (equipment estimates 6.24 g | 25 qt) 2.9 11.6  
Grain absorption losses (steeping) -0.19 -0.8  
Volume increase from sugar/extract (early additions) 0.41 1.6  
Pre boil volume (equipment estimates 6.47 g | 25.9 qt) 3 12  
Volume increase from sugar/extract (late additions) 0.27 1.1  
Boil off losses -1.13 -4.5  
Hops absorption losses (first wort, boil, aroma) -0.11 -0.5  
Post boil volume 5.5 22  
Going into fermentor 5.5 22  
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.
