I've been brewing quite a bit more the last few months, I haven't made the plunge to all grain yet.
I've been trying to replicate really pale beers so I have been adding about 20% of my malt in the beginning as usual and the remaining at about 15-20 minutes (depending on what I'm brewing, or if I forgot). When I add the malt the wort stops boiling, on my burner it takes about 7-10min to get back up to boiling. Should I count this time as part of my boil? Or should I pause my time until boiling resumes?
I usually preheat my malt so it resumes faster. Right now I continue as if the boil is still going (because the temp is only a few degrees lower than boiling)
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance!
