Well all my reading and preparation paid off. Did my first AG today and got it into my carboy. For my first AG brew i decided on the red hook clone https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f64/captain-hooked-bitters-red-hook-clone-award-winner-29740/
I used beersmith to scale it down for a 5 gallon batch and i substituted Victory malt for the toasted malt. I used the 48qt coleman cooler with steel braid.
I used a double batch sparge and ended up with 6 gallons instead of 6.3 like i wanted. I am going to up the absorption rate of the grain next time and that should fix that. Well even with that I ended up with 77% efficiency and hit my 1.055 OG right on. I used the OG from beer smith.
All in all a successful brew day i think.
