Doubling recipes

[akinsgre]

I thought I heard, or read, that when doubling a recipe one doesn't always simply double the ingredients.

That said, I doubled a recipe on beertools.com and the resulting ingredients for a 10 gal batch were exactly double the ingredients for a 5 gal batch

Can you all help me clarify the best way to scale a recipe?

Yup. Just multiply every thing by two. If you are using beersmith there is a scaling function.

You only have to consider hop utilization when you get into very large batch sizes.
