Well first all grain day went pretty smooth, I did northern brewers cream ale. I will know more in about a month. So far the hardest part was getting a water tight fitting on my mash tun. After that the rest was not too bad. I sparged too much so I just boiled at a higher rate and came right down to the proper amount. Oh by the way I was so worried about screwing up that I didn't have a home brew till I got to the 60 min boil. I have done enough extract brews that I felt ok after that stage.

I used to work with an old plumber who taught me fittings need to be just tight enough to not leak.

Congrats. I remember feeling the same on my first all grain. You will eventually feel as comfortable with the mash as you do with the boil.
Welcome to the 3D world of all grain!!
