Just finished my first all grain, a Scottish wee heavy. May have been a bit ambitious for my first but it was for a friend. Mashed 15.8 lbs of grain and hit a mash temp of 153 on the button. Fly sparaged with 170 deg water and according to my calc I got a 67.9 efficiency post boil. Had a little problem with boilovers due to the amount of wort collected (7.25 gals) for a 90 min boil but collected 4.5 galons and topped off to 5 before taking my gravity reading. color looks good and it smells great. All in all, a great first experience that I wanted to share since SWMBO could care less.
OG ended up being 1.075 so its gonna be a nice big beer.
