Quick Water Requirements
Water Gallons  Quarts
Heat water added to kettle (equipment estimates 5.85 g | 23.4 qt) 2.21 8.8  
Mash volume with grains (equipment estimates 5.85 g | 23.4 qt) 2.37 9.5  
Grain absorption losses (steeping) -0.25 -1  
Volume increase from sugar/extract (early additions) 0.54 2.2  
Pre boil volume (equipment estimates 6.14 g | 24.6 qt) 2.5 10  
Boil off losses -1.5 -6  
Hops absorption losses (first wort, boil, aroma) -0.14 -0.6  
Post boil volume 4.5 18  
Going into fermentor 4.5 18  
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.
