Thanks for the recipe. It's my second all grain (first was Haus Pale ale!), and it's fermenting very well. I came out with nearly 6 gallons (too much sparge water, most likely), but I came pretty close to the target so that's okay.
It's a very enthusiastic ferment. There wasn't much headspace in my 6 gallon better bottle, and something like three quarts of beer have filled up my blowoff (I originally was using quart mason jars with sanitizer but got tired of swapping them, so I upgraded to a 1 gal plastic bucket). It's a shame to see the beer go, and it makes me want to upgrade to a bigger carboy, but I can't get too stressed over it. No matter what happens, I will end up with beer. If anything, this means that I'm probably going to get great head retention!
