Beersmith - Scaling Recipes

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.

Disregard the original post!
