I have a brass fitting in my boil kettle, an elbow that acts as a diptube. I've been boiling this thing for 2 years now. Did I poisin myself with lead at any point in this process? I searched "brass boil" and came up with conflicting reports on the brass (some people saying the some brass has surface lead, some saying it's a myth and it's safe). Does anyone have any real information on this subject? I'm assuming that if the lead content was a surface issue, I've consumed (yikes!) all the lead by now. Thoughts?
