Welcome. And jump right in! If you fuck it up, well, you'll just have potentially shitty beer to drink.

Have you read How to Brew? IF you don't have a copy, it is available on line, and provides a good overview of the mashing process. I'm kind of worried that if you jump in trying to make a super high grave brew, you might have trouble getting hte process down. I'd recommend starting slower on a smaller beer first.

While I believe you should make the beer you want to make, I have to agree with Spiderwrangler. A really high gravity beer comes with its own pitfalls. Getting your process down makes those little snags easier to cope with.

Good luck.

Not to mention it makes the mistakes a lot cheaper too
