Minutes late at hops then 5 min add fight then 5 minutes turn off. Hopefully I’m doing this right

You mean 5 gallons?Use a 1/4 crushed Campden tablet or a pinch of K-Meta per 54 gallons of brewing water
Read around the extract brewing forum for pointers in brewing with extracts. Read the stickies.
Yeah, thanks! Must have had some toasted cheese bread on my fingers.You mean 5 gallons?
No, sorry, I wish. I don't have any specific links I can post without doing the research first.Can you offer some specific links?
When I compare how I brew withextractsDME to online information, I find that it's too easy to get conflicting information. Single sources of well curated information (specific forum stickies or posts, current home brewing books, ...) go a long ways towards avoiding the problem of conflicting information.
In that light would it be acceptable to point to John Palmer's How to Brew, 4th Ed.? Or when in a pinch, the almost ancient, but still very valid 1st edition that's available online?
You may be dissing good cutting edge material there.If only one or two support something and many don't I won't take that as worthwhile.
+1 ^ and ^^
You may add the balance of the extract at or after flameout. No need to boil it for 20 minutes.
If the instructions mention to transfer the beer to a secondary vessel after xx days of fermentation, ignore that part. Leave it be, where it is, until ready to bottle.

If you use municipal tap water, it likely contains chlorine or chloramines. Use a 1/4 crushed Campden tablet or a pinch of K-Meta per [EDIT]545 gallons of brewing water to remove it. Or use RO or distilled water.
