Default Steeping Mash

Brewing a California Steam partial mash this PM. The instructions indicate to steep the mash for 45 to 75 minutes being this is the first time doing a partial mash could someone give me advice on how long to steep or what kind of visual cues in the process should I look for?

Until it tastes sweet, not starchy. Mash 60 minutes, should be long enough. Also try and maintain mash temp as best you can, put a lid on the pot and wrap it in a towel.

That should work.

Don't use too much water. Only about 1.3 quarts per lb, or 1 gallon for 3 lbs.

Stir occasionally. Maintain temperatures. 45 minutes is usually fine.
