I have a recipe that I would like to try based on it's simplicity and comments made about the final product. I have filled in the calculator the best that I can. I added a English conversion column on the first page for a reference for me. I don't see how to post/add the calc spread sheet that I have filled out for review?

The original recipe I got was from:

I will use a converted Keg w/o any holes, temp probes and siphon out of for my vessel.
I was planning on Hopping in a smaller separate bag too (pellets), unless there was reason not too. Maybe because there will be so much trub, don't worry about it might be the BIAB method. I was also going to have LBS grind the grains twice, based on some of the comments I have read, unless, again you think I should not.
Main questions that come to mind after filling out the calculator are:
Should I go out to a 90 min wort boil?
"IF" yes, then hold off my hops for 30 minutes and then add, correct?
Should I mash out?
"IF" yes, would I still go the full 90 minutes "OR" maybe if Mashing out, stick with 60 min, and use a 10 minute hold at a mash out temp?
What mash out temp would you suggest?
Maybe I don't understand the calculator, but I didn't see anywhere about suggested strike temps for the gain bill, is there a section for that? BTW, does BS2 have BIAB as a method and this might be in there?
