With sparge water, mash water, additional infusions, vessel losses, top-up
water and evaporation rate recorded in the Water Needed Calculator:

Target Volume (Gal): 13.79      
Estimated OG: 1.041 Plato: 10.21

Raw Pre-Boil Targets - only targeted volume/gravity and evaporation
rate taken into account:
Target Volume (Gal): 12.31      
Estimated OG: 1.046 Plato: 11.39

Post-Boil Targets:
Target Volume (Gal): 10.00      
Estimated OG: 1.056 Plato: 13.90

Recorded Actuals - Measurement Taken In Kettle:
