Quick Water Requirements
Water Gallons  Quarts
Heat water added to kettle (equipment estimates 7.38 g | 29.5 qt) 3.55 14.2  
Mash volume with grains (equipment estimates 7.38 g | 29.5 qt) 3.95 15.8  
Grain absorption losses (steeping) -0.63 -2.5  
Mash Lauter Tun losses -0.25 -1  
Volume increase from sugar/extract (early additions) 0.08 0.3  
Pre boil volume (equipment estimates 6.83 g | 27.3 qt) 3 12  
Volume increase from sugar/extract (late additions) 0.23 0.9  
Boil off losses -1.5 -6  
Hops absorption losses (first wort, boil, aroma) -0.07 -0.3  
Post boil volume 5.5 22  
Going into fermentor 5.5 22  
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: 3.55 14.2

Notes

Have 0.5 gallon of water boiling in brew pot to stop enzyme action as wort is added.
