so i have a recipe that is
6
4
2
2
to boosted it 20% and still have the same flavor profile ( i want it stronger but same taste)
how do i go about it simply
Add 1.5 to each flavor %s and it will come up 20%
of the top of my head without altering the ratios, the closest I can get it to is 21%
and that would be
9
6
3
3
thats what makes the difference im guessing is not messing with the ratios
forumula to convert one ratio to another:
newValue = oldValue * newPercent / oldPercent
your original total percent is 14%, your new target percent is 20%, so:
newValue = oldValue * 20 / 14
6 -> 6 * 20 / 14 = 8.57
4 -> 4 * 20 / 14 = 5.71
2 -> 2 * 20 / 14 = 2.86
2 -> 2 * 20 / 14 = 2.86
Probably more precision than you want/need, so you can choose what to round up or down. Assuming they are in order of importance you might do something like:
8.6
5.8
2.8
2.8
or if you want to do at most .5% precision, a bit heavier weight on the primary flavors:
9
6
2.5
2.5
