Hey everyone, first time doing an all grain beer. This one just arrived at the local beer kit shop, the one that I bought:

I couldn't help but wonder, what it means by "Sacch' Rest: 149 F for 75 Minutes"
I thought this means to heat the water (approx. 2 gal.) to 149 F, then steep the wheat grains in it for 75 Minutes at that temperature. After looking around John Palmer's "How to Brew", I feel as though I've got the wrong idea. Additionally, the store owner told me his opinion was that the Mash Schedule was a part of the Boil Time (I don't think that's right at all).
Any advice on how to proceed? I haven't done anything yet, but would appreciate someone's interpretation of these instructions. Additionally, does the wort have to be boiled for 90 minutes? I thought the boiling time should never exceed 60 minutes.
Thanks!
