Okay, I am a noob, that's a good start. I started with extract brewing, I've now completed about 5 or 6 PM and I am very happy with the finished beer thus far. After my second PM, I decided to try AG mashing for the grain portion of the PM recipe. Things are going fine and I make beer.
That being said, I would like some help describing my mash technique. I built a MLT out of a 5 gal Igloo drink cooler and I have been practicing an AG mash. Here's the process:
The reason I would like an answer is to properly describe what I am doing in Beersmith for creating recipes. Just when I thought I was ready to go AG, I find out that I don't have a clue. That being said, my beer has turned out pretty good so, I do know I am making beer. BTW, I am drinking a homebrewing and brewing right now.

- Add strike water
- add grains and stir
- mash for 1 hour or longer at 150 to 158
- drain MT
- add sparge water at 180
- drain sparge water (amount needed for boil)
