'Draught' is not a beer style - it's a lifestyle

I agree ausdb, but I'm leaning towards using a 3/4" fitting to keep the cost of fittings down a little bit, and I can't see any need for a larger fitting on the side. The dump valve needs to handle solids but the side valve should always be clear sailing, so smaller is probably better in terms of flow control, hose diameters etc.
I could offer the same thing I am planning to have available for the bottom, basically a threaded ferrule which you can clamp on, which will then take a normal threaded ball valve. This would be a nice cheap option for folks that can't afford to get the works straight up, as they can use extremely cheap ball valves from Bunnings or similar to get started.
The ideal option would be something similar to this:

which we should be able to make down the track.
Anyhow, we got a couple more built, they aren't as big as the first one I sent Doc but I think I still need to check my dimensions:
