If you can come up with an oxygen stone already attached to 1/4" tubing then I can set you up with the same thing for much less.

For the BK, there's nothing wrong with a side drain either. You can also save a few bucks there as well. If you use the weldless bulkhead with the elbow on the inside, you can just thread in a 5/8"...

As yooper said, reduce the bittering hops. You can ferment a beer down to 1.00 FG and it will taste sweet if you don't add bittering hops. This concept works all the way up the chain to bigger and...
