Hi, all.
I'm working on converting a few homebrew recipes for use in a microbrewery, for the purpose of placing my first wholesale ingredients order. From what I've read, I expect to be able to pretty much run a straight ratio when it comes to grist. My homebrew efficiency has always been pretty good, and close to what I expect to get at the micro level.
It's the hops I'm not sure about. I know that as you step up in volume, you tend to get better utilization. Are there any standard conversion numbers I can use to estimate how much hops I'll need? We'll be boiling seven barrels at a time.
Appreciate it!
