Quick Water Requirements
Water Gallons  Quarts
WARNING: Boil kettle capacity (12 gal | 48 qt) exceeded. Volume required: 16.84 gal (67.35 qt). Suggest reducing initial water volume to 11.24 gal (44.95 qt) and adding 4.84 gal (19.35 qt) sparge/top-off.    
WARNING: Mash tun capacity exceeded. Volume required: 19.51 gal (78.04 qt). Suggest reducing initial water volume to 10.24 gal (40.96 qt) and adding 7.51 gal (30.04 qt) sparge/top-off. 17.75 71  
Heat water added to kettle (equipment estimates 18.82 g | 75.3 qt) 17.75 71  
Mash volume with grains (equipment estimates 18.82 g | 75.3 qt) 19.51 78  
Grain absorption losses (steeping) -2.75 -11  
Mash Lauter Tun losses -0.25 -1  
Pre boil volume (equipment estimates 16.07 g | 64.3 qt) 15 60  
Volume increase from sugar/extract (late additions) 0.76 3.1  
Boil off losses -1.5 -6  
Hops absorption losses (first wort, boil, aroma) -0.34 -1.4  
Post boil volume 15 60  
Going into fermentor 15 60  
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.

Notes

Very dark and not too bitter, medium body, smooth mouth feel but has strong roast grain finish. I have been brewing this every year in July since 2009. This 15 gallon recipe will scale down to 5 easily. Usually fermented in two separate vessels, blended when completed and kegged. An alternate method I like is to split off 5 gallons when racking for secondary fermentation and rack onto 1 to 2oz of American Oak Chips. (Nice hint of the oak and I prefer to age this method two or three months)
