First attempt. Excluded the acidulated malt on Johns recommendation. Mashing water was exactly 10 L. Single step mash at 65 (target) for 90 minutes. Did a mashout at 73 celcius for 15 minutes. Sparged with about 1.2 L water also at 73, wort ran clear so I didn't bother sparging more. Will make up for lost volume with cold water in the fermenter. (non-deliberate high gravity brewing?) Pre-boil gravity is 1.056. No idea what my boil volume was, but probably 11 litres. The calc estimates bringing to 1.059 post-boil, which is higher than planned but still good.

Gravity Estimates

Based on boiling 11.00 gallonsliters at 1.056 for 30 minutes, this will decrease your wort by 0.50 gallonsliters, bringing your after boil OG to 1.059.

You wanted an OG of 1.050. It looks like it will be over.
