And I also do similar. It works fine that way. However mine is limited to when I first start to draw. The temp. rises but then falls back gain. I draw slightly faster until it fall back to about +8, then I slow the draw and do my best to keep a constant draw and it usually gets to the +7 and can be kept there by tweaking the valve as needed. I own a auto draw off but have decided not to even hook it up for now, maybe sometime I will, I'm not sure, I like the constant draw method. My batch does not get adjusted from the initial surge of high density until I have a finisher full. Then I bring it up to filtering temp. and adjust. It usually is at like 120-140 when I bring the temp. up to 210-215 for filtering. At that point I density check and thin slightly as needed in most cases.
