I want to scale some recipes, so I can bottle 5 gallons. I've understood that I can multiply everything by 1.2. But on the recipes in Brew magazine it says "collect 6gallons of wort". If I multiply this by 1.2 I get 7.2 gallons.
Now, I did the math and found out that I need to collect 7.9 gallons of wort to bottle 5 gallons. I dont drain the kettle completely, because of trub (I guess the recipes doesnt take this into account).
So. 7.9/7.2 =0.1 ish.
0.1+1.2 = 1.3
Should I rather multiply the 5 gallon recipes by 1.3?
