Hi, I am new here and about to start brewing beer. The idea is to make mesh tun and kettle at home. I have found old keg and pierce the hole for valve and necessary elements to fix valve to keg , but I have realized that I don't know to what materials is beer tolerant. I can buy valves made of next materials:
-brass
-nickel
-zinc
Which should I buy?
Also I need something to stop wort from leaking between keg and valve. What materials can I use for this?
The filter for wort I am thinking to make like this. I this ok, will it harm beer?
Please keep in mind that I do not have any brew shop, but only local water and heat system shops.
Thanks
