Judging by this forum a lot of people did their first all grain this week.

Yesterday I did my first all-grain using deathbrewer's stove top method, and I have to say his method worked great I got around 73% efficiency on my first try. The only problem I had is that I used way too much water, and it took forever to boil off.

Also I'm not sure if it's a problem or not, but my wort isn't very clear, in fact it isn't clear at all, I have little pieces of hops and grain floating around in it. Will any of this be a problem? Will most of this clear out after a few weeks?
 
I made the Gunslinger Stout I found in the recipe section on this site. I lowered the OG a bit to make it more of a session beer, and the IBUs to try and maintain the same hop balance, I hope that didn't ruin the recipe. Maybe I should have made the original first.

I'll probably be leaving it in primary for 3 weeks before I bottle it.
