I have the Northern Brewer extract kit for their Red Ale. The instructions note that "Lakefront recommends a 90-minute boil for this recipe, making the first hop addition with 60 minutes remaining" The instructoins then go on to talk about steeping the grains and then bring the water to a boil and add the 1st addition of hops at hte 60min mark.
Queston: Are they including the steep time in the 90 minutes? OR are they saying i should steep, then bring to a boil for 30 min before adding the first hops at which point i'd have 60 min left?? 90min actually boiling?
Here are the insturctions:
