WARNING: Boil kettle capacity (12 gal | 48 qt) exceeded. Volume required: 13.08 gal (52.31 qt). Suggest reducing initial water volume to 12 gal (48 qt) and adding 1.08 gal (4.31 qt) sparge/top-off.    
WARNING: Mash tun capacity exceeded. Volume required: 27.76 gal (111.02 qt). Suggest reducing strike water volume to 7.12 gal (28.48 qt) and adding 15.76 gal (63.02 qt) sparge/top-off. 22.88 91.5  
WARNING: Based on your provided mash thickness (1.5 qt/lb), your strike volume will exceeds the total water needed for the recipe (19.88 g). Reduce mash thickness to 1.29 qt/lb or increase pre-boil volume to 15 g.

Notes

Boil hard for 90 min
Recipe will need a 3 litre starter pitched twice - so the process will need 3 ti 4 days to complete. That will give one starter with a high enough cell count to be completely effective.
