I have a copper coil immersion chiller. I know I'm supposed to put it in the brewpot 10 minutes before the end of the boil to sterilize the chiller.
When I do put it in, it kills the boil. Do I stop timing until the wort comes back to a boil, then continue the countdown? (I am doing stovetop brewing, so it takes a few minutes for the boil to come back, might be as much as 5 minutes.)
If I do stop the clock until my wort comes back to a boil, what about my hops?

- For 10-minute hops, I assume I should put them in after the boil restarts (and the clock resumes at 10 minutes).
- Do I make any adjustment for 20-minute hops, or just not worry about the extra minutes for it to return to a boil?
- I assume no changes are needed for bittering (e.g., 60 minute) hops.
