Going 1BBL, how do I setup beersmith Equipment

(1/3) > >>

bazowie:
Secifically how do I ramp the hop utilization? Has anyone set this up in brewsmith?

In your equipment profile, you can set your hop utilization factor.  IIRC the factor for 20 gal is 110%, 1BBL volumes and above is 125% but I brew 10gal so what the heck do I know?

Boy, that sounds kinda weird.  I usually see hop utilization numbers in the 20% range.

Denny, I think the utilization factor is relative, not absolute, so if 10 gal batch is normal then for a 1bbl batch you would use 20% less than the scaled up amount you would expect.
