Adjusting beer recipes to smaller batches

I would like to starting making smaller batches (10L) but most of the recipes that I have found online are for larger batches. Luckily, it seems that you can scale down ingredients linearly but unfortunately I can't locate this feature in most recipe websites that I have tried so far.

Can you recommend some free PC/Online tool that would have a large database of recipes and would allow in an easy way to scale down the recipes to smaller batches without me multiplying every ingredient manually?

I use Brewtarget, which has a scale feature, which works up or down. I use to scale down 5 gal batches down to 1 gal.

It is also open source(free), and works on linux or Windows.....I have both and use drop box to sync the databases.


Brewtoad allows you to set the batch size when you're creating or editing recipes. It's not the greatest set of tools, and I find it lacking when it comes to its utility on brewday. With that said it's a decent tool for making and storing recipes, and it's free.
