Bottom fill and drain seeking advice

Don't let the beauty of my technical drawing throw you, I'm actually not an engineering draftsman.

Thoughts about a 'bottom fill' ? Why you ask? Well I'm going to put a drain in anyway, and I don't want to make Swiss cheese of my keg, 15gal, going electric,
So why not fill from the bottom? I know it would be slower, but if it were all 1" that should be plenty.

Question 2: I understand that "everything" in the vapor path needs to be copper or stainless, but what below the wash line. Elements seem to use silicone seals and the drain valve etc, could that be brass?
