Did my first today and it seems like it went pretty well. I used a Creme Stout kit from Midwest while listening to Cream and drinking a few homebrews. I missed the projected OG a little, ended up with a 1.058, was suppose to be 1.048, guess it will be OK. It takes a little longer compared to doing Extract batches but it's not really all that much more work. I played around with the simplebiabcalculator to get a idea how much water to start with and ended up hitting it very close to what I had wanted. I ended up with about 5.5 gal. in the fermentor with a very small amount left in the pot. All in all I'm glad I tried this method and plan on doing more in the future.
