How long is the boil for this recipe? I'm accustomed to seeing 90 minutes for a Kolsch. Thanks!

Unlucky in the brewing

This was actually the worst beer I ever brewed. I'm thinking the yeast was unhealthy. Since this beer, I have been oxygenating and making starters, and getting better results, but I've never rebrewed this one. I'm not sure about the 60 vs 90 minutes question for a Kolsch.
