Six foot is about right, I got dandelions almost that high.

OK, as you pointed out it could be that question. Good to get it clarified.

If you have ball lock QD's and are attaching to ball lock kegs, AEB or Kegland, they should be the same. The gas QD is usually grey color and the beer QD black, those are normally not interchangeable.

Up here in Wisconsin you wouldn't see cones till in the fall, nor would the hops be that high. But with the wacky weather it's anyone's guess plus you're farther south. Is there a nuclear plant nearby?

Fair enough, I stand corrected. Hopefully the Boeing part works flawless.

Very impressive looking place! Nice to see locations repurposed for a new life and what's better than beer?

True that, but if I did there's always all the video content afterwards. Live doesn't need to be live anymore, and that has screwed me more than once.

Bummer, just seeing this.

Welcome to the group and welcome back to brewing!

Unless you know someone with CAD skills to draw up a schematic, get some graph paper and sketch it the old fashion way. Graph paper has easy to draw on squares imprinted on the paper so it help make your sketch easier to layout. Not entirely necessary, but helps for a cleaner look.

Yes, the Scoby, or the blob!

Not swaying you from a hop spider but I wouldn't worry too much with hop debris. You could wash the yeast which would leave yeast part most intact if you're really concerned. Lots of posts here about reusing yeast and washing it too
