Yes you can, and you can make the chiller from copper tubing too. Search in the forums and you can find instructions and save yourself a few bob.

tbh, our search engine can sometimes be a cack when it comes finding old stuff. Go to google and search for something like 'boiler kettle element the home brew forum' or 'how to make a homebrew boiler kettle element the home brew forum' here's what I got when I did the latter

question 3 = the king keg with a top tap works by means of a 'floating' source point so that you will always skim your brew from the top (so long as it is still floating)
the main advantage is that you will be able to 'sample' your brew alot sooner and sample away you will im sure
the main disadvantage is that you will get a false indication of how quickly your brew is clearing up as your brew will clear from the top-down - this means that you could pull 2 beautiful pints and then pint No3 will be more yeasty/cloudy
all in all i thoroughly recommend the top tap king keg with a floating syphon point - JUST REMEMBER TO PUT SOME VASELINE AROUND THE SEALS!!!
why lol hope its not a kinky reason :lol::lol:

Yes, but no.
Read down the way so that is 1.004 so will be quite a dry beer, which a dipa will be.
Around 1.010 is the "standard" finished measurement for beer - you want a reading about that (depends on style) for at least 2days
I would wait at least two weeks in total (so at least another 6days) which will give the yeast a chance to clean up a bit and give you a clearer pint. You could dry hop in this window if you are planning to/are guided to by the instructions.

Regular.
I use Videne (non foaming) which cost me about ten quid a couple of years ago
for a litre. You use 2.2ml in a litre of water, so you see it will be years
before I need any more. It is used commercial in the cheese making
industry, sanitising the marble slab they form cheeses on, one spray to
wet the surface, let it drain, sanitised! Had it neat on my fingers with
no effect.

There are things you can do to reduce it, but you want some in there (its yeast essentially) to carb up your beer.
By the way I think you have left a little bit too much headroom in that bottle.
