Did my first all grain yesterday...
Decided to ignore what BeerSmith was telling me and decided that I could do the mash in a 3 gallon cooler...yeah...that didn't work well.
And then when I started draining the mash tun, I opened the valve too much and it went shooting out really far. So that wasted a bit of tasty tasty wort. Also had to wash the kitchen rug.
I recovered well though, and ended up with 80% post-boil efficiency, so hopefully it will ferment out to be something mellow and tasty.
And yesterday I bought a big cooler from walmart.
