Good Deal!

Thanks! This will act as a kick in the pants to figure out my choices :D

What are the dimensions?

I broke my autosiphon just before racking my carboy into a keg this evening.

True, but we were trying to do this as cheap as possible. I totally think that the manifold is likely to work better, but results with the ss braid worked. The hacksaw is worth it to me now, but for a 1off project while in school it was another cost addition.
