Thank you much for this offer!!!
I would say provide a recommended path forward along with a guide for making the change away from MEGA, then set a date \ version change that would not longer support MEGA. Obviously if they do not update to that version then the MEGA continues to work.
I am currently on MEGA, as long as there...
If you have access to a drill press, easier to drill your tap holes while the collar is not assembled and that will ensure a nice straight hole as well!!!
I have the same height as you as mine is dual hinged. The freezer hinges are at the bottom of the collar, meaning I lift the entire collar out of the way. I was only referring to using the door hinges on the freezer top attached to the top of the collar.
You can use regular door hinges for the top lid since it is not too much weight. I just added some wood inbetween to attach to the lid and then the door hinges. You can see here:

Pretty sure you need to buy parts. Weldless bulkhead, ball valve, 1/2" barb, and don't forget a pickup tube or elbow for the inside to get more liquid out.
BrewHardware and BargainFittings are pretty common sites to get them.
True Weldless Bulkhead - With 90 ELBARB (mini diptube) or True...
I have used the recommendation from Gorm of cracked coffee beans and it worked really well. Some people cold brew the coffee as well and add that. I found the cracked coffee beans worked great though. Just keep sampling every couple of days.
I have done similar to the recipe above, except that I added the cocao powder to the mash instead of the end of the boil. However I did not use chocolate extract.
I would make something out of stainless parts and make a stand for it. Jaded does something similar in copper, but you could piece it together out of NPT Stainless elbow and straight threaded pieces. Not need for teflon tape either :)
