Chocolate/Coffee Porter (Extract)

[Delaney]

Hey sorry to revive an old thread, but I have a question.

I'm not use to the application you used listing the ingredients. I understand most of it, other than the batch size. I see it says 6 gal batch, 2 gal pre-boil ( which I'm assuming is the extracts ).

Does this mean I'm using 4 gallons of water?

I believe I was working with a 2 gallon pot at the time, and carboy to 6 gallons at the end. So basically I steeped the specialty grains in that 2 gallons, then dissolved the extract, then diluted to 6 gallons in fermentor vessel. In other words 2 gallons in the pot + 4 additional gallons in the fermentor.

It's been a while though and my memory is hazy.
