Scaling the Gravity?

Post by rsorbo »

Hello:

I'm working on an existing recipe in BT that I would like to scale up the gravity keeping the malt/hop % the same.
I know you can scale by volume in BT, but can't figure out how to do it for gravity.
Thanks in advance for any help provided.

I found the solution on the NB forum:

"If you mean scaling to OG, you simply uncheck the scaling box, decrease the batch size until you hit your desired gravity, recheck the box, then change the volume to 5 gallons and you have the same recipe translated to a higher gravity version."
