Unlike you, I fire up my arch and my thermo says +7F over water boiling point. So I boil till it gets to +10, then draw down to +7 again. When I close it up, I am usually at +7.5-8.5F...In many ways, I'd prefer to do it a batch at a time as you do, it would suit my anal nature. To get my volume, however...I have to leave the pan with "nearup" all the time.
