Hi all
We have lots of threads about brass on the site and lots of people saying no it contains lead and it will poison you etc. but all the threads I’ve read relate to vapour path.
So is there anything wrong with using brass plumbing fittings in wash transfer and pre filtering with abv in the range of 10% and at room temperature?
I know the simple answer is just use stainless and you will be safe but the transfer and prefiltering manifold I’ve designed uses 13 1/2” ball valves and im looking to be efficient with spending, obviously when I get up around the still itself it’s copper and stainless without question.
I guess the real question is
Does lead leach from brass with low abv at room temperature
Or just high abv and heat and vapour??
