Quick Water Requirements
Water Gallons  Quarts
Heat water added to kettle (equipment estimates 6.14 g | 24.5 qt) 2.54 10.2  
Mash volume with grains (equipment estimates 6.14 g | 24.5 qt) 2.68 10.7  
Grain absorption losses (steeping) -0.22 -0.9

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.

Notes

Did not want an overly hoppy flavor. So stayed with the Saaz and minimized last addition to add a little hoppiness but not enough to make the wife wince. Added the last fuggle hops at 5 minutes to final cook time.
