Newborn Stout

So my wife is having our second child this coming friday, and has requested a stout as the next brew. Nothing like something light for the summer! Anyway, I'm brewing up 10.5 gallons tomorrow using this recipe, which I've been tweeking for the last few years. Hopefully, this one's a winner.
