So 90 or 60 minute boil?

I think he means 60 not ninety because he starts the cool down @60 minutes

Do you add the corn syrup to increase the amount of fermentable sugar, or is that adding flavor somehow. Seems like a lot of purists frown on getting fermentable sugars from any other source than grain. I'm a newb, so just trying to understand it all.

Thanks, I'm gonna brew this recipe next.
