OG: 1.077
Est. FG: 1.017

i found this recipe on the site and really want to brew it but i have only brewed partial boil and top it off in carboy so far. i was wondering if i need to change hop amounts or if this is a full boil recipe. i was also wondering about steeping water amounts if it a full boil. should i cold steep, full amount of water steep or stick with two gallon steeping?

cheers
M.
