Would like to brew multiple 3 gallon (pilot) batch sizes before brewing at 52 gallons.
If the pilot batch turns out good I would like to then brew the same recipe at batch size of 52 gallons.
I'm hoping for a formula or general rule of thumb to scale the recipes (hop utilzation) so bitterness stays as close to the same in both batch sizes.
My understanding is once I scale to a larger batch > (x) times the size that's when I will start to see a degregation in bitterness in a larger batch size.
If I scale up from 3 gallons to 52 gallons that would around 17.6 times the size from the pilot batch at 3 gallons.
In each case specific mash/boil/fermentation vessels will be used in proportionate to the batch size.
Appreciate any help I can get here.
Thank you, Aryan
