I just finished my first AG brew, most of which Gremlyn1 helped to make sure followed the correct procedure. Overall it was much more enjoyable than extract brews and it actually finished in 5 hours, from initial start (without any prep work at all) to after cleaning the equipment and calling it a day. The total efficiency was 84.5% using Brewmasterswarehouse.com grains and my new 10gal pot / 10gal rubbermaid cooler setup.
I did the following recipe and got the following readings:

Measured pre-boil gravity: 1.056
Measured original gravity: 1.065
Total final volume: 5.5g
Here are just a couple pics of the day. The last pic is of the mash tun grains on the ground, after I put a plastic trash bag over the top of the mash tun and dumped it upside down thinking the trash bag would hold it all. Good thing it was done over the dirt...
