Hi,
New member on the forum here and long time beersmith user. I was fortunate enough to win first place at a homebrew festival this past fall with an IPA. Part of the prize was getting to brew the award winning beer at the local brew pub.
Scaling up the recepie to a 7 barell (217 gal) Peter Austin Brewhouse. We nailed the gravity at 1.060. Hop additioins were scaled up along with everything else from a 10 gal batch to 7 barell. I understand now that hop utilization is higher with batches over 20 gal, but the question is how much higher?? At 10 gal. the IBU would be around 60. No adjustments were made from the linear scale. Can anyone tell me what I have done? What IBU will this beer likely be? What should I adjust hop utilization for a 7 barell system? Does anyone have a chart that shows how much efficiency increases as you scale up over 20 gal batches?
Thanks.
