Racking first all grain

The racking process took a little longer tonight than I expected, an hour from setup to cleanup. The beer color is good, except it leaves an odd green tint behind. I tasted it while I siphoned it to the other carboy (naturally) and... It did not turn out as expected. It confirmed my specific gravity readings, unfortunately. The favors were great, a nice blend of hoppiness, bitterness, and chocolate as I wanted. The body was not not what I wanted, nor was the alcohol content (virtually undetectable). I believe this occurred because I did not mash long enough. I did not have iodine to make sure I had completed the process. The next beer batch I do, I'll check the mash with some iodine. The measured racking specific gravity is: 1.015

A friend of mine, Nick, made a very successful attempt at his first all grain. I won't call mine a failure, I'll just say it is a learning experience.
