Thanks guys, I think I am going with a 12" false bottom with 1/2" silicone between the false bottom and the bulk head. It will resolve my straight pipe issue. Time to build...

I picked up 2 welded kegs for a HLT and Brew pot. I have a Lowes 10 gallon for an MLT. I am also getting a march pump and Banjo burners to retro fit my old mega grill in to my brew stand (angle iron reinforced). I plan on picking up the long premium bulk head from bargain fittings for the...
If you have a hand capper (batwing) then different bottle heights aren't bad, but a stand/table capper you have to constantly adjust. If you have it set short (for woodchuck bottles) it will break a long neck.

Sounds like to much hop gunk... Will have to find a way around that when I transfer to the carboy. First time it's been like this and first IPA style beer I have made.
I'm not worried about the sediment in the bottles, i racked off the trub and the bottles are very clean. My issue is the amount of trub produced making me lose over 100 ozs of beer in the primary because of 4" of trub.
