So, a friend recently gifted me his homebrew set up. Nothing fancy, but absolutely everything I would need to start brewing in a bag immediately. Always wanted to brew, never tried before. Was recommended to skip extract and go straight to all grain and that works for me.

was thinking of making this recipe, seems pretty simple and straightforward for a first time. I have some centennial and summit hops I might use in stead of cascade but other than that following it to the letter. Kind of confused with some of the steps though. I assumed with beer in a bag like this, I put the full volume in the pot as my strike water and go from there. However the steps on this are very confusing. It keeps saying mash 10.2 L, and when I look at the step by step instructions its giving me two mash steps? one for 90 minutes, another for 60? Maybe the site is just bizarre.
would I be safe just doing the inital 90 minutes at 66 degrees with full volume, removing/draining the grain bag ,and carrying on with my boil? because to me that make's logical sense.
Also, pleased to meet the community. Apologies in advance for any super newbie questions.
