My first mash with two brews!

So I brewed up two batches of beer this weekend.  I did a Stout and a Hefeweizen.  Once I am done, I plan on naming the brew and adding them to the recipe section of my blog but until then, here ya go.

Stout:

• 6# 2Row
• 1# 6row
• 1# Roasted Wheat
• 1# Torrefied Wheat
• 1# Oats
• .5# Black
• .5# Barley
• 2.5oz East Kent @ 60min
• .5oz East Kent @ 30 min
• 1oz Sterling @ 10min
• Wyeast – Irish Ale

Hefeweizen:

• 5# 2Row
• 2# 6Row
• 2# DWC Wheat
• 1# Roasted Wheat
• 1# Torrefied Wheat
• 1# Oats
• 1oz Nugget @ 60min
• .25oz Cascade @ 60min
• 1oz Sterling @ 20min
• .5oz Sterling @ 5min
• Wyeast – London III (Large batch because i reused it from my very first 2 brews that were extract)

Both were mashed the same way.  I heated the water up and began the mash at 70C.  I let them sit for one hour.  Rinsing I used hot tap water, which I will not do next time.  My OG for both was 1.041.  Not very good, probably due to my rinsing process.

Here are some pictures with in 24 hours:
