When it comes to late extract addition, I've read that 25% of extract goes in at the beginning to aid in hop utilization, and the rest of the extract goes in at the last 15mins of the boil.
My question is: when you add the extract (DME) you obviously cool the wort in the kettle considerably, which then requires ~10mins to get back up to boil (on the stovetop).
Do you factor this "downtime" into the boil process? That is, once DME is added do you wait until the full boil has been restored before resuming the countdown for the last 15 mins?
