It’s always important when you’re brewing someone else’s recipe to make sure you adjust it for your system, and for the ingredients you have. In this episode, we’re going to show you how to do just that for both BeerSmith and GrainFather.

One of the newer members in our club, Charles M, had a couple of questions related to scaling a recipe. We’ve long been talking about making a video of how we enter our recipes in BrewFather and BeerSmith.
BeerSmith is available here: https://beersmith.com/
BrewFather is available here: https://brewfather.app/

Mike walks through how he enters his recipe, and scales it accordingly. He goes over the the MoreBeer Plump Wheel Amber Ale, a New Belgium Fat Tire Clone. Sharing a little known tip on where to find the recipes for the kits without ordering.

Jesse follows it up with a recipe entered into BrewFather using the same recipe as the basis.
