When I built my Brutus inspired single tier rig, I used 2" square tube with .060 wall and it's worked great, very easy to move around on casters, not heavy at all, the 2" x 1/4" is likely similar or lighter weight than 1" x 1/4" wall pipe (easy to enough to lookup). If you're using gas, a...

I regularly rack from primary to a keg after 1-2 weeks (usually after 2 weeks). If you've pitched the right amount of yeast and controlled the temperature the beer will be fully fermented and ready to carbonate by that time. I almost never secondary unless I am adding fruit, it's nothing by an...

To add a master keyed switch, you could add it inline with the blue/teal wire prior to the distribution block, this would prevent the PID from turning on, so the heating element could never turn on. The diagram is already showing a switch for the pump, so that's covered, unless I am...
