Quick Water Requirements
Water Gallons  Quarts
Heat water added to kettle (equipment estimates 5.85 g | 23.4 qt) 5.22 20.9

Hops absorption losses (first wort, boil, aroma) -0.08 -0.3  
Post boil volume 5 20  
Going into fermentor 5 20  
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.    
Total: 5.22 20.9

Notes

Maybe split the batch into two secondaries and put a vanilla bean in one?

Note: haven't brewed this yet. Just thinking/planning.
