The First Brewday 

I picked a pretty simple recipe as my first All-Grain brew.  I like an English Bitter, so I had a crack at an Ordinary Bitter.  I liked the sound of Jamil's recipe I heard on The Brewing Network, so I took it to my LHBS came back with a bag of crushed grain, some hops and yeast.

I won't go with a blow-by-blow description of the brewday, but here are a few pics:
