Newb question!

When I look at a brew schedule written like this:

5400gm Pale Malt Maris Otter Grain 91.5%
400gm Caramel/Crystal Malt - 60L (60.0 SRM) Grain 7.0%
100gm Cara-Pils/Dextrine (2.0 SRM) Grain 1.5%
25gm Pearle [6.90 %] (60 min) Hops 14.5 IBU
25gm Magnum [11.00 %] (60 min) Hops 25.6 IBU
30gm Cascade [6.80 %] (10 min) (Aroma Hop-Steep)
50gm Cascade [6.80 %] (0 min) (Aroma Hop-Steep)

is the 50gm Cascade [6.80 %] (0 min) indicating that
- the hops are added to the boil, as the boil finishes and then strained off with the rest of the hops.
or
- The hops are added aftyer the boil into the brewing container?

O mins hops is the stage that when the boiler is switched off after the boil time is over, the 0 mins hops are then added and left to soak in the wort for around 30 mins to increase the hop aroma. It is supposed to have a similar effect as dry hopping.

These are known as the 'aroma hops' or 'late copper hops'; its best to add them after you've turned the heat off and the chiller on. I've read its best to add when your wort has reached either 80C or less than.

These hops will give your beer 'nose' rather than imparting any more bitterness. You know when you raise a pint glass to your mouth and get that lovely hop smell first? Thats the aroma hops.
