Kit Yeasts as Nutrient

Either 1 or 2. Depends on what how much of a start the yeast need. It won't hurt to use more than 1.

One question ... when's the best time to add the nutrient to the wort? during the boil, after it's cooled?

Soak it in water for up to 10 hours, then throw into the boil 5 minutes into it...thanks to Chris for this info!

What was the hop additions & when kosmo?

I added 25g fuggles. Boiled in about 100g dark malt for 15mins, then added to the main mix for the rest of the boil, as it turned out about 45mins.
