Okay after working with mine for a yr + here are my tips.
Get a 16gal wet dry vac and only use it for pulling spent grain out of your mash tun.
This will save you LOTS of time and your back.
If you want to speedup ready time - install a tankless water heater and with presets for 145 and 165...

Congrats - let us know what it dries out to. The 3724 I have going in "How Rye am I - Saison" is being pokey too. 7days 1.059 ~ 1.038 @ 74 degrees. The other 5gal with 3711 7days 1.059 - 1.010 @ 74 degrees (recipe says to dry to .008 or .006).

Well, once you have 2-3 brew buddies you kinda have your own brew club. You make the rules. How about "Looking to start small Brew Club" ?
Just a thought, I just brew by myself because no one has daytime week days off like me. Good luck!
