About the amphora.
The cork stopped leaking over night. Thanks :-)
I am surprised it took so long to stop dripping and, in general, I'm still not pleased with the design of the spigot. I think they may be sold more for looks than for serious function.
I like the looks, but in general the overall design could use improvement. Maybe daedin's idea of an amphora in sand is the way to go, or a 2 gallon lidded pitcher???



It's interesting how self-cooling the water evaporation makes the pot. It is so much colder than the air, even after sitting for over 12 hours at room temperature. And I can imagine it filled with ice water during a hot event, ummmmm.

I did that too, and it helped.
I consider now my issues are with the cork.
