Hey everyone.
So i'm pretty new to this. Got a brew kit for christmas, and my first batch should be ready for bottling this saturday. I'm already hooked and want to move onto other recipes!
My problem is I'm not sure if I follow the standard recipe sheets well enough.

so following this, besides the more advanced stuff like adjuncts and the moss, I'm looking at putting the grain, both kinds of extracts in to boil for 45 mins, as well as the hops???
Is there any problem with all of them having to go in at the same time? Like the dme wont gunk up the grain bag and stop it from steeping properly?
Should I sparge, or "teabag" the grain as well?
How would i find out how much water to use?
I'm not saying im going to be making this particular recipe, but it looked like something I could understand at least a bit. Guess i'm just a bit overwhelmed on the order of things.
Any help would be appreciated
