I'm trying to scale down Troegs scratch brew triple mango ipa to do a 10 or 12 gallon batch however im a little confused on the conversion. Their batch had a grain bill of 1275 lbs along with 60 lbs of honey and 50 lbs of cane sugar. This batch was for 12 barrels which comes to about 372 gallons. This means that a 10 gallon batch would still get around 34.27 lbs of grain. This seems like a lot even though it is supposed to be around 9% alcohol, any help with how to do a correct conversion is appreciated.
 
Sounds pretty right on... I was only able to scale to a .03 batch which is 11 gallons, but I got 38.25 lbs grain 1.8 lbs honey 1.6 lbs sugar. Calculated for 70% eff.
 
Why don't you use the source recipe that was used to make it....

Classification: Imperial/Double IPA

Source: Brad Moyer, submitted

This recipe was created by one of our own employees, Brad Moyer who recently won the local "Al´s of Hampden / Troegs" homebrewing contest. This beer will be brewed in early September by Troegs as one of thier "Scratch Series" beers. Brad suggest using frozen organic mangoes and a heafty dosing of fresh hops to really bring out all the citrus and fruit flavors that this beer has to offer. Also, a large yeast starter will be needed since this beer will be clocking in around 11.5% ABV.
