Hi all
I have second-hand faucets, shanks, and tail pieces that looks like they are a definitely a bit old and used. Some of the nickel plating has worn off on all the parts where there was contact between the metal and liquid, so the interior of the shanks and faucets. I am looking to use the parts to make a draft box and wondering if contact with what looks like copper and brass would do injustice to the beer but also to me and my friends bodies. Any advice or experience on the matter? Thanks in advance.
