Just curious, I did my first multi-step mash this weekend (which worked yay!) but wasn't sure how others normally factor in ramp times?
So the schedule for temperatures and times in the brew I did this weekend was
1. 10 minutes at 55C
2. 40 minutes at 63.3C
3. 30 minutes at 70C
4. 15 minutes at 75.6C
Now, I'm using a RIMS system so after the initial 10 minutes at 55, everything else had a ramp time to get to temperature, is there any common wisdom around whether you count the ramp times against any of the planned mash times (or not).
I ended up not counting ramp time against planned mash times, but not sure.
