used a mix of bottled spring water and filtered tulsa tap water. one day i will become the scientist and tune water chemistries to fit my beer, but until then... i'll just drink my beer as it is currently - awesome!
Quick Water Requirements
Water Gallons  Quarts
Heat water added to kettle (equipment estimates 6.13 g | 24.5 qt) 4.52 18.1  
Mash volume with grains (equipment estimates 6.13 g | 24.5 qt) 4.64 18.6  
Grain absorption losses (steeping) -0.19 -0.8  
Volume increase from sugar/extract (early additions) 0.67 2.7  
Pre boil volume (equipment estimates 6.61 g | 26.5 qt) 5 20  
Boil off losses -1.5 -6  
Hops absorption losses (first wort, boil, aroma) -0.11 -0.5  
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: 4.52 18.1
Equipment Profile Used: System Default
 
Notes

loosely inspired by north coast red seal but added an extra 1/2 lb of DME and a half lb of maple syrup. my OG reading was 1.085, which, if the conversions here are accurate, should actually set the final abv around 8.5%. can't wait!
