I guess....it's ok. I've never used grits, so can't comment on that.
But I will say this: I am a firm believer that when people start out--and shifting to all-grain is a similar issue--they should start with simple, established recipes known to produce good beer.
When you decide to strike out on your own, you risk this: if the beer doesn't turn out, was it your process, or was it your recipe? There's no way to tell.
Until you get the process down, I don't think it's advisable to start trying new stuff.
Now, this is brewing, and we all get to make our own choices, and part of the fun is making those decisions. In the end, you get to decide what makes you happy, and more power to you.
But if you want to get your all-grain exercise to the point where it's producing excellent beer, consider whether your approach is the most likely to yield positive results.
My 2 cents.
