Hey everyone,

I'm pretty new to the forums but I can't stop reading and I want to brew more and more now haha. Can you guys look over this recipe for me and let me know if everything looks ok before I begin? I'm using BeerSmith for the 1st time and this is my first all grain brew so I'm a little nervous. It's based off of Nilo's #12 Blue Moon Clone recipe HERE. He had something around a ~60% efficiency and since it's my first all grain brew I'm not sure what my efficiency is but I scaled everything to 72% and copied a lot of the settings from the "Pot and Cooler - All Grain" equipment settings. Should I have done that? Have any suggestions? Would you recommend Rice Hulls?
