That is a truely Beautiful thing!
No worries man. All Grain batches are always a bit lighter than the Extracts that you've been making, as the extract darkens during the boil.

Guess I can't ask for a more experienced opinion than that! Thanks EdWort - you've been really helpful to me, without knowing it. You've taught me a lot.

Actually...I've never made an extract batch. I went to AG first. Probably should have done the steps and whatnot, but I knew I wanted to be AG and so I just did it. Thank you for the complement BigKahuna!
And for the record....this might be the LAST batch I bottle...

Heh. I did the same thing, Deacon. AG from the very first batch, and kegging within a few months of starting. 
Those look great, good work dude.  |

+1 on kegging. I've only ever bottled 2 batches - with no plans on bottling anymore.

Yeah, kegging really is so much easier...
FWIW, if you do bottle again, it's a good idea to fill each bottle more than you have in that picture - I'd say probably half that much headspace.

If you use a bottling wand when filling the bottles, fill the bottles until they are completely full. The amount of liquid displaced when you remove the wand provides the perfect amount of headspace.
