I just received the Pliny The Elder Extract kit from Morebeer and am slightly confused by the directions. On the list of hops it says to use 2oz of Magnum Hops for bittering and says to boil for 90 min. The Extract Additions portion says the Extracts/Additions (9.5 lbs Extract, 8 oz Maltodextrin, 1 lb Corn Sugar) are to be boiled for 60 min. So, are the instructions telling me to boil the Magnum hops for 30 min by themselves, prior to adding the extracts, or is it just a typo and they should be added at 60 min w/ the Extract/Additions? Boiling 2oz of hops in 3 gallons of water for 30 min by themselves just doesn't make sense to me. Maybe I am missing something. Thanks!
