Casein/Whey Protein - When and how much to Consume?

So I'm a bit confused by myth and what may be truth. Can some of you clarify?
I understand that Casein is meant to be broken down by your body at a slower pace, so I take it that many consume this protein form in the evening? Do any of you take it throughout the day? How does it differ than Whey in this aspect?
Also, I've read that the body can only absorb or process so much protein at one sitting or meal. Is there truth to this? I read somewhere it was in the 25g range. I'm not the average sized joe, so do any of you beasts out there (6'4/235lbs) use more than what is recommended?
I saw some information on here discussed, but am hoping that some of you have newer research to reference. I appreciate all help.
Gracias.
