Frequently asked questions
How do I scale a recipe to my batch size?
Open the recipe and enter your amount under “Batch size calculator” at the top. Mash water, sparge water and total water update right below as you type. With “Convert”, malt, hops, water, yeast and the amounts in the steps are adjusted, also in the PDF. Gravity, IBU and colour stay the same.
How much water do I need?
It depends on batch size, amount of malt, boil time and your system. The water volume calculator under “Calculators” works out mash and sparge water and tells you how hot the water has to be. After your first brew, enter the evaporation and losses of your own system under the fine settings.
