I initially posted this in the DIY forum this morning but no one has even looked at it so I thought maybe I should move it over here.
I built an immersion chiller using 1/2" copper tubing but wasn't able to find a tubing bender for 1/2" (other than the crappy spring one that just smashed the tubing). So I decided to use some 3/8" tubing and brass compression 1/2" to 3/8" reducers so I could get the bends I needed. My question is, is it safe to use brass in the boil? I searched and couldn't find anything that specifically said brass was being used in the boil, just want to be safe.
Thanks.
