Take OG
Add 1 packet of S-04 (11 grams) to each
Have a home brew while I clean up
3 weeks in primary then keg
2 weeks in cooler carbing

So what did i miss? Should I change anything? Any comments? Suggestions? As I have never done this before I am open to any feedback bad or good.
What I see as possible stumbling point are
1. Total volume of grain + water exceeding my 15 gal keggle capacity
2. Potentially scorching the mash/bag during mash out
3. Having trouble pulling bag out past lip of keggle
4. Over shooting or under shooting target efficiency
