Hi, I've got 7 Biabs under my belt and everything's going great

I have a 70 litre pot and I've been doing 23L batches,however I really like my last Abbots ale
and I'm thinking of doing a double batch. My pot will only let me go to a 40l batch so I'm looking
at Maxi Biab and sparging with the extra 6 litres to get a better efficiency.
I thought it was a case of just doubling up on all ingredients but I've been told I should add an extra 10%
on all grain & hops to make up for the efficiency and lost hop utilisation.
How do others do it?
 
I use brewmate beer soft ware to change amounts from original receipes. I regularly do 5L "tester" batches. Brewmate and most other beer software will let you scale up or down a receipe. I use brewmate cuz it's so simple. Lots of other brewing software will let you do all kinds of great things but I find them too complicated to understand
