Quick Water Requirements
Water Gallons  Quarts
WARNING: Boil kettle capacity (12 gal | 48 qt) exceeded. Volume required: 12.15 gal (48.6 qt). Suggest reducing initial water volume to 12 gal (48 qt) and adding 0.15 gal (0.6 qt) sparge/top-off.    
Heat water added to kettle (equipment estimates 14.93 g | 59.7 qt) 15.78 63.1  
Mash volume with grains (equipment estimates 14.93 g | 59.7 qt) 17.56 70.2  
Grain absorption losses (steeping) -2.78 -11.1  
Pre boil volume (equipment estimates 12.15 g | 48.6 qt) 13 52  
Boil off losses -1.5 -6  
Hops absorption losses (first wort, boil, aroma) -0.15 -0.6  
Post boil volume 10.5 42  
Going into fermentor 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.
