WARNING: Based on your provided mash thickness (3.6L/kg), your strike volume will exceeds the total water needed for the recipe (47.7L). Reduce mash thickness to 3.49L/kg or increase pre-boil volume to 35.3L.  
WARNING: Mash tun capacity exceeded. Volume required: 59.09 L. Suggest reducing initial water volume to 36.29 L and adding 13.69 L sparge/top-off. 50

Notes

efficiency down - did 3 liters too much - pre-boil gravity was 1.081 - target was meant to be 1.90. This is due to no sparge method and initial calculation of efficiency not low enough, will lower 10% next time to 55%

boiled for 130 minutes

at end of boil added 500 grams light DME.

ended with 1.105 gravity
