Want to go all grain

[topdog149]

Ok brothers and sisters I want to go all grain since space is limited biab small batches 1 to 2 gallon. Now my question is is there a calculator out there where I input batch size and it pops in how much of what I need for example I punch in a one gallon double chocolate coffee stout and it gives me you need x amount of xyz.

Not aware of one that does that, but if you input a normal 5 gallon recipe into Brewer's Friend, you can use Recipe Tools and it will scale it to whatever size batch you want to make. I would make a suggestion and change the units for hops from ounces to grams.

Exactly. Know of nothing where you enter a type of brew you want and a recipe pops up.

Most any brewing software or app will allow you to scale the recipe to a chosen size. Many are free and still perform well. They may help in formulating your own recipes when you are ready

There are plenty of sites that have recipes. You can usually select the style and even type of brew (extract, all grain) to get a list of recipes that fit your search. Some will even search for specific ingredients included in the recipes.

I created a spreadsheet that does this. You are welcome to use it, or use it as inspiration to make your own.

I use beersmith. Its not free and may be overkill for what you are looking for but it has alot more to offer.

+ for Beersmith. It can scale recipes, but can be a bit of a learning curve as there are a lot of variables in equipment to dial in so that the output is accurate since everyone's setup works differently. At least there is a 30 day trial you can use for BeerSmith 3 to test
