I'll typically wait until the froth subsides to add my bittering charge, then I'll start the timer.

With my Mash & Boil, I typically wait until I see the start of a rolling boil before I set my timer and drop in the first hop addition.

timer starts once I reach my starting volume. either by boiling down or adding water to the boil. usually 6.5 gal for most of my recipes given the boil off rate of my system and target fermenter volume.

When my PID says 212 (which I trust), and the surface of the kettle is erupting, then my boil timer begins. But normally I already have some FWH in the kettle, which I highly recommend.

Um, no. And I don't even like Ali G, tbh I blame tequila.

haha ok just checking, have a guy on a fishing forum that talks like a pirate 100% of the time in his posts but after sounding out your horrendous spelling I realized its more alike to Auzzie
Anywho, cheers to you, the tequila, and Jumbojake cause hes pretty hilarious. ...back to the discussion.

Start my boil timer whenever I damn well feel like it! Usually when it gets to a boil though

Wow, this drew a crowd lol.

I get my wort almost to boiling then turn off the flame throw in my bittering hops. I then turn the flame back on and when it starts to boil which is within about 2 minutes usually I start my timer.
