Recipe was for 6 gallons.
I used approx 15.63lbs of grains.
Heated water to 150 degrees.
Dumped approx 19.5 quarts of water into mashtun.
Put grains in mash tun. Then mixed the grains with water.

Added approx 3 more gallons of 168 degrees water to mash tun for 10 minutes .
Added approx .75-1 gallons of 168 degrees more water for 10 minutes.
Had approx 6.5 gallons of wort.
75 minute boil.
@60 mins added 1 oz Hops
@30 mins added 1 oz Hops
@1 min added 1 oz Hops.

ORIGINAL GRAVITY.
I was shooting for 1.071 & ended up with 1.068.
Any tips, comments would be greatly appreciated.

Great job Isaac on your first all grain batch of beer! Being off by just a few points on the anticipated OG is not a big thing. As long as you come within +/- 3 points you did very well. Ironing out the effeciency of a new brew system takes a little time. As you brew up more batches, you will learn the ins and outs of your system. Looking forward to tasting your beer soon! Cheers!
