You should take your PBG (pre boil gravity) just as the kettle comes to a boil. To be useful, you really need to use an ATC refractometer. Just as the wort comes to a boil, it will be uniformly mixed to eliminate bad readings due to temperature stratification, which is exactly what happens if you try to measure following the sparge. This will be your PBG, say 7 gals, which is the amount of wort extracted. It also won't be expanded 4% until the hotbreak when the volume will increase to 7.28 gals. In my world, this will evaporate to 6 gals in 1 hour. Shrink to 5 .75 gals when cool. Leaves 1/2 gal trub in kettle and puts 5 1/4 gal into primary. My final numbers: OG and IBU are based on the 5.75 gal net yield. If I leave more or less trub in kettle, it doesn't matter. Sample problem: 10 lbs x 27 PP = 270 pts. 270/7 gal=39 PPG PBG. 270/7.28 gal=37 PPG BG. 270/5.75 gal=47 PPG OG.
Why do we care? Wouldn't it be nice to know that your extract yield assumptions were close enough so you didn't have to recalculate your hop additions. If your MEE was 60% or 85% and you planned on 75%, you will clearly need less or more hops to hit your desired IBU target, which in turn affects malty/bitter relationships.
As always, YMMV.
