Default Stout ferment temp????

I did a stout two days ago and the fermentation temp seemed a little high to me, the thermometer was reading 74-75 degrees. Today i moved it to a large 1/2 barrell and filled it with room temp water. The temp seemed to stall at around 66 degrees in the water cooler. Was this a good idea???

74-75 is too high IMO. I always ferment stouts at a max of 66 degrees because you know it's higher than that inside the vessel.
