Quick Water Requirements
Water Gallons  Quarts
WARNING: Boil kettle capacity (12 gal | 48 qt) exceeded. Volume required: 12.65 gal (50.6 qt). Suggest reducing initial water volume to 12 gal (48 qt) and adding 0.65 gal (2.6 qt) sparge/top-off.    
Heat water added to kettle (equipment estimates 11.93 g | 47.7 qt) 11.78 47.1  
Mash volume with grains (equipment estimates 11.93 g | 47.7 qt) 12.26 49  
Grain absorption losses (steeping) -0.75 -3  
Volume increase from sugar/extract (early additions) 1.47 5.9  
Pre boil volume (equipment estimates 12.65 g | 50.6 qt) 12.5 50

Hops absorption losses (first wort, boil, aroma) -0.15 -0.6  
Post boil volume 11 44  
Going into fermentor 11 44  
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.
