It's a stout from "Joy of Home Brewing" (papazian)
For the Toad recipe, he says to boil 1.5 gallons (instead of the 2 i normally do)...is this specific to this beer or his he using his own general method?
Also, and this is more of my questions: he says to poor the hot wort directly into 2 gallons of cold water...then add the other 1.5 later. I've always cooled the wort in an ice bath...again, is this something specific to a stout? Or should I use the ice bath?
Thanks!
