I have been given an extract kit and the instructions are for use with a boiler which I do not have.
How can I make this kit using regular brewing equipment?
Also amongst this kit is a bag of green hops that has been vaccum pressed into the bag.All the instructions say is boil for 60 mins.But do I remove it from the bag somehow as it is solid or do I boil it in its bag? This is the bit that I am stuck on.If I boil it in the bag all that will happen is it will soften and I wont be getting anything extracted from it.I am really confused so any help would be great.

Definitely remove the hops from the bag.
What equipment do you have? You don't need a "boiler" as such - a large stockpot would do but the process you follow will depend on what the capacity of the pot is.
If you can not fit the full volume of liquid in the pot during the boil it is possible to use part of the water to make a concentrated wort and then top up with water in the FV.
