I’ve been playing around with Beersmith and thought I’d brew a 3 gallon batch instead of a 5.
When I scale the recipe down, the amount of hops increases. Which is counter-intuitive.
Am I missing something? The increase is not too much, but the batch size is almost half…
Does the IBU rating change? Are you doing extract or AG?
I am wondering if you are doing extract and beersmith is adusting for reduced utilization? I don’t really know. shooting in the dark.

Partial mash. The IBU stays the same.
There are a lot of variables to the program, so I’m still figuring it out.
It’s probably something related to a concentrated wort/boil. I’ll have to keep playing with it.

I think I’ve got it figured.
