I'm talking about mashing in by adding my grains to my cooler full of water.
Then sparge with another 4 gallons after I've drained my initial mash water.
Ok. Well like i've said, everything i've read says to always add the water to the grains, never grains to water. I believe i read it in how to brew and also in brew your own magazine. But also, Frat is the home brew buddha on this board, so i wouldn't question him if he says it's fine. I've only done 3 all grain brews, so i too, am still learning my way around it.
I have noticed one thing. All-grain brewing is very easy. As long as you know your system; what temps to raise your water too, heat loss, etc... then it's a piece of cake. When i made my bourbon stout i was surprised myself with the simplicity. The only pain is that it is a full day of brewing (with cleaning). I believe for my next batch i will try mashing one day, and brewing the next to break up my brew day and make it more manageable.

I'm still learning as well. One advantage for me to add the water first is that the 10-gallon cooler had marks on the side so I'll know when I've added enough water!
