I was pricing some stainless fittings and found everything I need from the manufacturer Merit Brass on amazon.com. Some of their stuff clearly has China stamped on the outside of the parts. The manufacturer has assured me that the alloy contains no lead, but what about surface contamination like with brass fittings?
I've read Palmer's information about cleaning surface lead off of brass fittings using a vinegar and hydrogen peroxide solution. Would this be necessary for cheapo Chinese stainless steel fittings? Would such a solution actually have a negative reaction with a SS alloy?
Would y'all be comfortable using these products with your beer?
