Do you really pour the just boiled wort into ice? Isn't that bad? Whats the benefit of doing that over a traditional wort cooler?

2nd time brewing this, absolutely love the lemon grass addition. pungent and assertive flavour with this ale. at over 9% with my second batch, very little alcohol could be detected in both the nose and taste. the lemon grass is definitely there bit not overpowering. great balance. i did an all grain version of this the 2nd time using 1lb of crystal 10L and 1/2lb of crystal 45L, 1/2 lb aromatic malt, 10 lbs of 2row and 5 lbs of pilsner, mashed at 151 as to lighten the body a bit and pitched a whopper of a starter using 2 jars of washed 1098 and one of 1056.

best ale to get ripping drunk off of.

cheers
