Easy! Click the scale icon in the equipment section of the recipe designer. 
You can also just change batch size or efficiency in your equipment profile within a recipe, click save and it will ask you if you want to scale the recipe to match the new numbers. Also - if you change to another equipment profile it will scale to match it also!
How do i send my recipe to Grainfather Connect?
Check out this video (turn on subtitles).
Basically you export a BeerXML on your phone and open it directly in the GF Connect app.

On your batch click the menu button in the lower right, click export, select BeerXML, the file will show and you should get an option to open the file in your GF Connect app.

iPhone example. Slightly different approach in Android.
Then you just start brewing!
