Boil off losses -5.7
Hops absorption losses (first wort, boil, aroma) -0.4

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.  
Total: 30.4  
Equipment Profile Used: System Default
 
Notes

Volume lost to Hop Absorption approx 0.5 Litres
Boiling volume loss < 1 Litre
20 litre kettle capacity glass ventilated lid used for mash and boil, reducing boil volume losses.
Wort filtered hot directly into fermentation vessel.
