Heat water added to kettle (equipment estimates 6.21 g | 24.8 qt) 2.12 8.5  
Mash volume with grains (equipment estimates 6.21 g | 24.8 qt) 2.36 9.4  
Grain absorption losses (steeping) -0.38 -1.5  
Volume increase from sugar/extract (early additions) 0.76 3

Going into fermentor 5 20  
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

Wow! So many crazy flavors. In the future I will most likely brew this without the Belgian Candy Sugar and no cloves.
