Brass fittings?
Posted: Sat May 21, 2011 4:00 pm
Hi guys,
Went out today and bought all the tube, elbows, reducers etc to build my rig. I want to be able to remove the liebig to use on both my pot still head and my column so I bought some threaded fittings but they're brass not copper. I have read that you can "pickle" the brass in a vinegar/peroxide mix to remove the surface lead, but would you bother, or just bin them and use stainless instead? Or use something else?
