@Coopers DIY Beer Team, I noticed that the recipe does not specify a duration for the hop steep.  It probably does not make a huge difference.  However, it is helpful to have a time mentioned.

Cheers Shamus

• Remove the Light Crystal Malt by gathering up the corners of the mesh cloth and lift, allowing the liquid to drain from the malt back into the pot.
• Bring the liquid to the boil for 5 minutes.
• Remove from heat, add 25g of Trident Hops and set in an ice bath to cool.
• Strain the Light Crystal Malt liquid (wort) into the fermenting vessel (FV) and add the Bewitched Amber Ale.

G'day Shamus. We'll modify the recipe to read "... and set in an ice bath long enough to cool the wort down to pitching temperature." The object of the exercise is to extract flavour and aroma without adding to bitterness to any great degree. 

Cheers, Frank.
