I did my first non kit brew yesterday and it was a scaled version of a recipe I found on Brewer's Friend. For some reason, the OG on my scaled version recipe is higher than on the original. All I did was use the "Scale" recipe tool on Brewer's Friend.
Original: Permission Error | Brewer's Friend OG 1.049
Scaled: 2 Gallon Cow | Cream Ale Partial Mash Beer Recipe at Brewer's Friend OG 1.057
My OG when I was done was 1.048. So, basically what the original recipe had. My question is why the difference in the scaled version projection? I just want to make sure I understand it so when I scale more I have a good understanding of the target OG. Seeing as how I basically hit the Original recipe OG, I'm not worried about this batch, just trying to gather knowledge.
