Uh, I think something went wrong with your conversion. 10 quarts is about 9.5 liters.

You're using US quarts; they're using Imperial quarts[0]. (But I expect the recipe was also using US quarts, so still a useful adjustment to note.)

I used the common Unix "units" program, and entered quarts and asked for l (i.e., litres). Maybe it used my locale? GNU programs can be crazy like that.
