Excited to try this!

The steep/whirlpool hop times in the recipe are after the boil, once you've turned your burner off. Sometime referred to as 0 minute additions. Let them steep for 20 minutes (I'll probably do 30).
I listened to a podcast the other week from a hop scientist/specialist, he stated that for every 10 minutes you boil a hop, you lose it's flavor/aroma oils and only the bitterness oils remain. That's why a lot of people don't like to boil Citra and other tropical aroma hops, may as well just use a traditional bittering hop if you're just looking for bitterness. IMO, anyway.
