Both my mash and boil are 60 mins. I only heat enough water I the HLT for the stage I'm at, then heat again whilst mashing. Sparging is around 30 mins. I start the boil before the full 30 litres is collected. Cooling coil is quite efficient at around 20 mins. I leave it in until after draining. I clean as I go. 4 hours would be a quick day, but 5 hours is quite leisurely. I can, of course, have longer settling and slower draining methods, but having done it different way for about 35 year, I have become lazy/more efficient! If I thought results were suffering, I would be more picky, but it's a simple system and works for me.
