LOL. I must be a nut case. Looks great. Never wanted to bottle so i purchased 8 kegs and beverage Air Kegerator, buildt everything else. Been doing all grain self milled for four years now, only added a large plate chiller. Ran out of names. So now i just make beer. lol.
I have both. Mash paddle in stainless is much more effective when the mash is chunky and thick as strike water is added. I use keggles. Most restaurant supply stores have solid paddles. Just drill some 1/2 holes into the paddle head.
All i can add is barginfittings ships very fast and always correct. I have a very simular set-up. Only using one march pump and fly sparging. have not jumped into a RIMM's yet. I would order extra fittings if your budget allows. Also get end caps for hot transfer. Nice to be able to cap a hot...

Ok. buddy says to me i want to try home brewing and he is a lazy dude by trade. I am always going if you know what i mean, So i give him a bunch of starter brew stuff. He comes over for a brew day "all grain" i show him all i can referencing the stuff i gave him. Basic carboy Ect. So i visit him...
Adding whirfloc to the boil 15 minutes before flame out benefits coagulation of proteins before wort transfer reducing less in the fermentation. I have found clearer beer for sure a benefit from friends opinion on the beer. For some reason people think good beer is clear. So the only positive...
Experience is relavent only to knowledge. trying to remeber the science behind everything is mind blowing. I have the brew day down like a fat kid on a hamburger, but lack in the science. 93 brew days in three years, all grain only. Never did anything else.
