First Wort Hop Questions

[KennyS1134]

Hello Brewing Gods!

So I'm doing my first 'first wort hop' and was wondering how this calculates into my boil. I'm doing a hopslam clone, which calls for a 90minute boil. So once my mash is complete, do I put my 'first wort hop' hops into the kettle and slowly siphon my wort on top of it? I'm confused when I start the boil timer?.....at the hot break? Put the burner on immediately when wort goes on top of the hops? I realize this is a stupid question, so I apologize for wasting your time .

Someone may correct me on this. But I think it counts as a 20 min addition?

First Wort Hops means the hops go in after mashing before you rev up the temperature to get to boiling. I believe that's what you said. I'm not sure what the 90 means, maybe 30 to get to boiling, and 60 during boil? In any case put the hops in, get the water to a boil, then add any 60 min additions (if there are any.)

That's what I use.
