i was making my keggle today, and tightened my weldless blichmann thermometer too tight, and the orange rubber o-ring got smashed, and broke, so of course it leaked. i went to menards, and they didn't have any temperature ratings on their o-rings. i just got a black #10 o ring, which fit exactly the same as the orange one that came with the thermometer, and used less force, and i got no leaks. i'm worried that the heat of the wort, ket, etc. will be too much, and the black o-ring from menards won't hold up though. anybody else done this before?
