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

Target Volume (Gal): 6.00      
Estimated OG: 1.097 Plato: 23.09

Raw Pre-Boil Targets - only targeted volume/gravity and evaporation
rate taken into account:
Target Volume (Gal): 14.12      
Estimated OG: 1.041 Plato: 10.28

Post-Boil Targets:
Target Volume (Gal): 12.00      
Estimated OG: 1.048 Plato: 12.03

Recorded Actuals - Measurement Taken In Kettle:
