Hi All,
Another beginners question. Is there any negative aspects if I build a carbon filter out of copper rather than stainless steel ?
Thanks all.

Ethanol is commonly used for removing tarnish off copper too (as recomended in the build threads)- so if the copper in the proposed filter wasnt shiney clean (citric acid bath?) any tarnish in there will wash off and leech into your product, no doubt with an accompanying taste
Dig deeply into the build threads and you will see more than once the concept of copper for the vapour path and stainless for the liquid alc
I knew something was bugging me about the copper fire extinguisher for storage recently in another thread....
