Quick Water Requirements
Water Gallons  Quarts
WARNING: Boil kettle capacity (12 gal | 48 qt) exceeded. Volume required: 37.65 gal (150.6 qt). Suggest reducing initial water volume to 12 gal (48 qt) and adding 25.65 gal (102.6 qt) sparge/top-off.    
Heat water added to kettle (equipment estimates 38.84 g | 155.3 qt) 40.19 160.7  
Mash volume with grains (equipment estimates 38.84 g | 155.3 qt) 43.39 173.5  
Grain absorption losses (steeping) -5 -20  
Volume increase from sugar/extract (early additions) 3.81 15.3  
Pre boil volume (equipment estimates 37.65 g | 150.6 qt) 39 156  
Boil off losses -1.5 -6  
Hops absorption losses (first wort, boil, aroma) -0.15 -0.6  
Post boil volume 36 144  
Hops absorption losses (whirlpool, hop stand) -0.08 -0.3  
Top off amount 0.08 0.3  
Going into fermentor 36 144  
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.
