But no present like time?

That's right! I practiced on an old pot lid I had laying around, I got the feel for how it likes to line up and got the nerve to do it to my Spike kettle lid. The ferrule seems to slip in pretty easily on the second (reverse) pull, I think if you feel much resistance at all you should stop...

What's the rush?

Me too, I haven't brewed in a while (soon I hope) but I have a good stash for the next round.

Good deal, I just got @GaBrewZoo 's package shipped off today.

I just looked at my Beer Smith program and for 1.050-1.060 beers 5 gallon batches on my system I would use pretty much all of that ten gallon space.

That is going to be quite subjective. I was brave (or stupid) and just dumped in what I had soaking some cacao nibs, probably around a cup in 3 gallons, not sure really as it was a portion of what I had in the jar with nibs. I dumped the nibs (and bourbon) in a hop sock into the serving keg...

I just added real bourbon to a stout and am surprised how smokey it is.
