I wait until I'm through the break then set timer it's a each to his/her own one I think. As long as the wort is boiling.
That's my approach as well - in case I have to turn off the heat and let the break settle before proceeding. But a few minutes either way won't matter a whole lot.I wait until I'm through the break then set timer it's a each to his/her own one I think. As long as the wort is boiling.
I have never taken long enough to drain to be boiling while draining though
A nice steady boil will get you everything you need.
