Welcome to BeerSmith! > Scaling and Adjusting Recipes

The Scale Recipe button on the ribbon for My Recipes view or any open recipe will scale the recipe size up or down, matching original gravity, bitterness and color of the original recipe as closely as possible. Using this command you can scale a recipe to match your equipment profile, a different target batch size or even to adjust a recipe's brewhouse efficiency.

Note: Whenever possible it is best to scale recipes using your own personal equipment profile - this will assure a complete match between the recipe you have imported and your own equipment.
