Ok, still refining my PM techniques. Doing things a little differently this time, more like the AG techniques I've read about here. Some changes:
So far, so good. I nailed my strike temp right at 155F. It's mashing now. I'm going to be doing a late addition of extract, and am going to cut down on the initial bittering hops by about 1/4 and add them at 30 minutes instead.
Will keep posted

- Used a finer crush
- Added the water to the Igloo before dumping the grain in then stirred up the grain
- Didn't knot the grain bag but draped it over the sides and held it in place with the lid
- Instead of lifting the grain bag out and pouring sparge water over it in a strainer, I'm going to use the spigot and do a vorlauf, drain the wort, then sparge right in the Igloo.
- Increasing sparge water volume from 2qt to 1-2gallons. Haven't decided exactly how much yet.
