I think you're doing the right thing, but how long has it been since you changed your coolant? I do it every two years with one BL replenishment in the interim (one year). I think BL's recommendation is to add another 5.5 oz. bottle every year, not six months.
The last time, I let the BL stay in without replenishment for over a year and noticed a faint coolant smell every month or two for short periods. Recently, I changed to the 5-year Prestone (orange stuff) with 5 oz. of BL and the smell is history.
