Quick Water Requirements
Water Gallons  Quarts
WARNING: Boil kettle capacity (12 gal | 48 qt) exceeded. Volume required: 159.2 gal (636.8 qt). Suggest reducing initial water volume to 12 gal (48 qt) and adding 147.2 gal (588.8 qt) sparge/top-off.    
WARNING: Mash tun capacity exceeded. Volume required: 152.35 gal (609.39 qt). Suggest reducing initial water volume to 8.88 gal (35.52 qt) and adding 140.35 gal (561.39 qt) sparge/top-off. 149.23 596.9

Going into fermentor (equipment estimates 156 g | 624 qt) 155 620  
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.
