fist all grain ??????

Do I add the water to my grains in my converted cooler or grains to my water??

Grains to water.

Speaking for myself, I add the water and then stir in the grains gradually. I have found this prevents doughballs. But that is just me. Other people will tell you other things. Welcome to all-grain.

Add the grains to the water, most people do it that way, you can find threads on it. Don't fist them.

What can I say I move fast

i've always done half water, half grains, other half water, other half grains? is that too much work? should i just be doing the water first?

you're thinking about it too much. they just both need to be in the same container. it doesn't matter which one goes first. its not like on will get started before the other one gets there.

also fisting for your first AG is cool in my book.

Yep put in the water then stir in the grains, this results in alot less doughballs.
