I've been reading the How To Brew book, which is generally good, but the author uses the term "knockout" without definition a couple of times. What does it mean?

could someone with more rep add a "terminology" tag... a "defects" tag would also help.– Rich ArmstrongCommented Feb 19, 2010 at 16:01

I'm surprised this term isn't in the Homebrew Talk wiki (or any other I know of). Guess I'll make a page over there.– Dean BrundageCommented Feb 19, 2010 at 19:15

According to this page, it's the very end of the boil. Minute 0.

It must be true, it's recorded in a wiki: homebrewtalk.com/wiki/index.php/Knockout Commented Feb 19, 2010 at 19:21
Yep. It's when you shut off the burner (or heat source) on your boil kettle. You "knock-out" the flame.
Knocking out is when you chill the wort. For example I knocked out to 18˚C so I could pitch my yeast. Flame out is minute 0. For example I added 45g willamette hops at flame out to add aroma.

Your answer is not bad, but it brings nothing new. Downvote is not from me, but I kinda understand where it came from.– MołotCommented Apr 28, 2016 at 7:58
