WARNING: Boil kettle capacity (12 gal | 48 qt) exceeded. Volume required: 426.5 gal (1706 qt). Suggest reducing initial water volume to 12 gal (48 qt) and adding 414.5 gal (1658 qt) sparge/top-off.    
Heat water added to kettle (equipment estimates 491.36 g | 1965.4 qt) 564.86 2259.4  
Mash volume with grains (equipment estimates 491.36 g | 1965.4 qt) 608.86 2435.4  
Grain absorption losses (steeping) -68.75 -275  
Volume increase from sugar/extract (early additions) 3.89 15.6  
Pre boil volume (equipment estimates 426.5 g | 1706 qt) 500 2000  
Boil off losses -1.5 -6  
Post boil volume (equipment estimates 425 g | 1700 qt) 450 1800  
Going into fermentor (equipment estimates 450 g | 1800 qt) 425 1700  
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.
