I did my first AG batch this weekend with Ed Wort holding my hand nearly all the way (and providing counseling afterwards). I was making his Stone clone, which may have turned out not quite as good as I had hoped, but probably still drinkable. At any rate, I am still trying to get up the AG learning curve. Primarily, I am wanting to learn how to use the recipes in the database to make the AG batches.
I am looking at trying this one next:

But I do not understand how you know how much water to use in the initial mash and subsequent sparges, including the temps that the water should be. I just downloaded Pro Mash and started playing with it. Do you guys put the recipes into Promash and have it spit out the necessary water volumes and mash/sparge temps?
I guess what I am asking is...how do you put the recipes in the database to actual use? Sorry for dragging this out, but in my defense, I am trying to learn the Promash system so that I can get on my feet for some of this.
Thanks!
