Hey folks. I'm very new to the all-grain process having competed my first batch last weekend working from a kit. I want more options and less cost so I've been looking into Beer Smith in hopes of weening myself from those kits.
This community here has posted so many great recipes. Thank you all. For sake of time, I'd like to brew 10 or 12 gallon batches instead of 5 or 6 gallon. I have a 25 gal. kettle and a 14 gal. Rubbermaid mash/lauder tun suitable for single infusion, batch sparge recipes. I also have two 8 gal. kettles for heating water.
I guess my primary question is how to best scale a 5 or 6 gallon recipe to a 10 or 12 gallon batch? Is this a case of simple multiplication or is it more complicated than that? Is there a conversion tool in Beer Smith that I just haven't found yet?
If you all have any other ideas or thoughts about how I should proceed, my process or anything else to keep it fun and relatively simple for a newbie, please share.
Thanks,
zak
