If you are drawing off from a continuous flow pan where you draw off slowly into a filter, I think the stream would have time to cool off enough so that it's below 200 once filtered? Maybe not, but at a minimum if you are pouring your entire batch of 4-5 gallons in at a time, it has a greater chance of retaining more heat due to volume, and then potentially making more niter even after it's filters..
At least that's my understanding..
