I brewed the black veil ale on sunday and didnt notice that after i scaled the recipe to 10 gallons it didnt just make the hops times 2, it scaled them much more...is this normal for beer smith? heres what i ended up with...and after tasting the wort from the hydrometer tube it seemed pretty hoppy..so maybe i will have an american IPA instead..i started with a recipe of Freds and adjusted to my thoughts...And after reading the article in Brew You Own on irish moss and whirlfoc i did not use it this time...seems not needed..
