Family conflict that night, bummer. I may be able to join you all late if the party is still going on.

The weldless bulkhead fittings Derrin has worked great for my tad-too-large hole I drilled into my kettle. I know you asked specifically about o-rings only, but if you don't find a good fit, these might help. http://www.brewershardware.com/Weldless-Fittings/

Thanks Brad. I think I'm leaving towards leaving it alone and telling the family to suck it up and enjoy. I might keep some mulling spices on hand just in case. Thanks for the input. I will experiment a little with some cinnamon maybe.

I have a two year old apfelwein that I tried today for the first time in over a year. It is very clean, almost too clean, if that's possible. There is only a subtle hint of apple in it and no boozy taste at all. I'm pleased with the absence of alcohol taste as it's 9%, but I was really hoping for mo...

Those are the best friends a guy could ever have.

My son's birthday is that day, so I won't be able to make it. More beer for y'all.

I love it. I will have to borrow this one.

OK, change of plans. Not running. Volunteering in the morning for free tickets in the afternoon.

I ran it and drank it last year with Tim. It was a nice little fest. I'll be running and drinking again this year.

Also visited Colorado Cider Company. It was the first cidery I had visited. Not too exciting, but it was interesting to learn how they get their juices flowing. Their 6-variety sampler was free, too. As Tim put it, going there was a no grainer.

I entered a couple of beers and the 5K. I'm not much of a runner, and I'm in much better beer drinking shape than running shape, so beer tasting after running should be interesting.

Congratulations Don and Tim! Did I miss anyone else?

Thanks Chris. I'll pick mine up from you at the fest.
