Well I just drunk my first pint of my first all grain, and all I can say is WOW! This is exactly what I love in an APA. I adjusted my brewhouse efficiency in promash to reflect on what my results were. 86%:rockin: This recipe is a modified version of a SNPA clone. Advice or comments will be welcomed.

All I can say is I did tons of research before attempting all grain. My techniques are single infusion with mash out. Batch sparge via Denny's website. Props to Denny for his batch sparging info.

My equipment is a Barley Crusher set at default spacing, a 10 gallon HLT, 60quart Ice Cube MLT with stainless braid , keggle boiling pot and Bayou Classic "Kick-a-Banjo" cooker.
