Only After the boil while you are chilling.

45 minutes is pretty reasonable to reach strike temperature on a stove top. I think thats about where i was on my electric stove in my apartment, seems like it was faster but never paid too close attention there. I had a big enough pot to use 2 burners at once. My new place with gas took...

Yes you should be pumping cold water through the chiller, assuming you have a standard immersion chiller.

I disagree with the refractometer statement. More $$ and doesn't accurately measure fg. Refractometers only measure the bending of light. Which from what I have read is good when you only have a few main components in your solution, such as sugar and water. But not very good when you add...
