Alton's Ale - Day 1

So I caught Alton Brown's, from the Food Network's Good Eats, episode on brewing an easy good brew. It's a half mash, so I decided to give it a try. This is my first half mash.

Here's the official recipe:

Ingredients:
4 gals spring water
1 7lb bag of ice, cubed
1/2 lb Crystal Grain 40, milled
7 lb light liquid malt
1 oz Mt. Hood hops
1 3/4 oz Kent Goldings hops
1/2 tsp Irish moss
1 vial British Ale yeast


I followed the instructions pretty much to the tee.

Starting S.G.: 1.050

In 7 days, I'll check the bubbler.
