Quick Water Requirements

Heat water added to kettle (equipment estimates 3.75 g | 15 qt) 1.56 6.2  
Mash volume with grains (equipment estimates 3.75 g | 15 qt) 1.59 6.4  
Grain absorption losses (steeping) -0.05 -0.2  
Volume increase from sugar/extract (early additions) 0.24 1  
Pre boil volume (equipment estimates 3.94 g | 15.8 qt) 1.75 7  
Boil off losses -1.13 -4.5  
Hops absorption losses (first wort, boil, aroma) -0.07 -0.3  
Post boil volume 2.75 11  
Going into fermentor 2.75 11  
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: 1.56 6.2
Equipment Profile Used: System Default
 
Notes

Not a high IBU but a decent BU/GU ratio and plenty of finishing hops.
Options: Use only C20 or C60.
