Boil water added to kettle (equipment estimates 6.56 g | 26.2 qt) 2.32 9.3  
Mash Lauter Tun losses -0.25 -1  
Volume increase from sugar/extract (early additions) 0.68 2.7

Hops absorption losses (first wort, boil, aroma) -0.24 -1

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.

Notes

Base recipe of Mike's American Amber. Adding 0.5lb corn sugar to boost ABV and I have it on hand.

Adding more Cascade hops at end of boil and dry hopping. I like a hoppy taste and I have cascade available to use.
