Hey guys, first time poster here. I've been reading here and there about techniques for late malt extraction addition. I think I'm familiar enough with the timings, when it's appropriate, etc. I haven't found a post that addresses how the addition should affect the timing of your boil.
For example, this weekend I brewed the Doze Black IPA extract kit from morebeer.com. With 20 minutes left on the boil, I added the remaining half of the extract. I did it slowly, but it still stopped the boil and took another 5 minutes or so to bring back to full boil.
So my question is, when the boil stops and takes minutes to come back, should that time period count towards the 60 minutes of boil? Or should I stop my timer and resume once the boil resumes?
Thanks for your help!
