Problems with Scaling Recipes

Hi,

I downloaded "Kolsch (Batch2)" from the cloud, and I tried to scale it up from 5.5gal to 11gal, encountering a weird set of problems (I deleted the recipe and restarted multiple times):

1.  When I changed the equipment to my 20-gal Boilermaker, it 'zeroed' out all the style comparison factors.

2.  When I attempted to scale up, it also did the above AND it did NOT double any of the grain bill.

3.  When I adjusted any of the techniques to BIAB, it also did the same.

Please assist.

Thank you,

SMB

The way I'm reading this, it sounds like you simply changed the equipment profile instead of using the scale recipe function. That just dilutes the same ingredients into a larger volume.

By using the recipe scaling function, the recipe is converted via your efficiency and quantity.
