Hey guys. I'm looking to scale this up to an ~10gallon (40L) recipe. I've based it on the 6 gallon recipe from Bertus. Everything was input into beersmith, scale recipe tool used and then adjustments made to get the percentages adjusted. The main thing I'm wondering about is if the AAU from the HopShots and other hop additions seem about right or if there are any other things I should look at.

Dextrose planned to be added during fermentation. Potentially as two staged additions. My efficiency has been quite low on the last few beers but I'm planning this as the first brew on a new larger rims setup I've been building so hoping my efficiency will be better.

Any commentary would be appreciated if I overlooked or didn't search through the thread in the right place. Thanks!

Do you have an update? What was your fg

Looking to make this soon
 
Just saw a story in my Google recommended stories about this beer being release in bottles soon so I decided to do a quick search here and sure enough... You guys are brewing this one too. Anyone try this recently?
 
Haven't brewed this one recently but when I did it turned out great! Required a lot of hopshots:
