Planning on trying my first batch of all grain this weekend and, yes, it's gonna be a stout (what else is there?). This is the recipe I'll be using although I've only got about a 19 litre pot so I'm gonna have to scale it down a bit:
7 pounds, Crushed pale malt
2 pounds, Flaked barley
1 pound, crushed roast barley
1 ounce, Colmbus hops
3 ounces, northern brewer hops
1 tsp. CaCO3 (if you are in a soft water area)
Yeast - Safale S-04
I didn't get any other notes as far as the process goes so any tips would be appreciated. I thought I might split it into two batches since I have the full amount of the grains.
I have a rough idea of what I'm going to do based on several other stout recipes I've looked at but any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Joshua has given you the best bit of advice you are likely to get at this stage of the process. Download and look at BIABacus.
Fill in sections B, C and then watch the result for TWN in section K as you change the OG in section C and the VIF in section B. Play around with those two numbers keeping TWN less than 19 litres.
My rough calcs show that if you use all of your grain you will make about 3 litres VIF at about 16.8%. A pint of that and you may not know whether the beer is a Stout or a Hoegarden
I think you are right and will end up splittig it into several batches

Edit: If you have a source for that recipe can you post that as well. As it stands the recipe is going to take a lot of guess work
