When adding a late malt addition to an extract boil at or near the end, does the malt have time create a hot break? Should the late addition be added early enough to create a hot break or does it not matter?

Don't worry too much about hot breaks with extract. It's already been through that when it was originally made.

Unionrdr is right. but it can still do a hot break, you just don't need to force it....
I've never had a hot break with extract. Or at least, none that were noticeable.

Really??? If you have a big enough burner it's possible.
