Recipe Scaling
New Batch Size Currently (gallons)
Scaling by Batch Size
  • All amounts are adjusted (batch size, grains, hops, etc).
  • The Boil Size vs Batch Size difference will be maintained. If you are scaling this recipe to different equipment then please check the Boil Size figure.
  • Rounding differences will cause minor variations in the stats after scaling. IBUs will differ the most because the relationship between boil volume and bittering units is not linear.
New Batch Efficiency Currently %
Scaling by Efficiency
  • Scaling by Efficiency will only impact mashable fermentables and custom fermentables.
  • To keep the OG exact, the base malt is then selected and fine tuned. This will result in small changes in color.
  • A small change to the amount of dark malts, holding water volume fixed, leads to large changes in SRM and flavor. Therefore, only malts with a Lovibond below 15 are adjusted by this scaling method.
Do not use this tool to scale up to production recipes without expert input.
