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

Target Volume (Gal): 5.39      
Estimated OG: 1.126 Plato: 29.42

Raw Pre-Boil Targets - only targeted volume/gravity and evaporation
rate taken into account:
Target Volume (Gal): 15.29      
Estimated OG: 1.045 Plato: 11.09

Post-Boil Targets:
Target Volume (Gal): 13.00      
Estimated OG: 1.052 Plato: 12.97

Recorded Actuals - Measurement Taken In Kettle:
