So I decided to try and move away from extract and try BIAB. I purchased a bag and hop sack online yesterday and should be here in about a week when pumpkin ale is finished fermenting. I wanted to do Fruit Bazooka recipe found on northern brewer but for 2.5 gallon. I decided to input everything into brewers friend just to get a feel for it and the numbers are way off from what northern brewer has.

I halved all the ingredients and showing OG of 1.071 and ABV of 8.06% when its supposed to be 1.064 and 6.7%. Also IBU are at 37.14 instead of 50. One thing may be factor here is selection I have. recipe calls for hops to be added right after flame out. What is this called? Mash, Aroma Whirlpool, or hopback. I selected whirlpool and that is what 37.14 is based off of.
Equipment profile setup with following:
evap rate at 3 quarts/hr
grain absorption .4 quart/lb
kettle loss 1.25 qt
general loss 1qt
efficiency 72%
mash thickness 1.5qt/lb
28 qt kettle size
I ran calc on boil size and shows pre at 4.08 and after 3.33. This is .75 gallon over batch size I want. I am assuming this doesnt calculate grain aborption?
