I am creating a wine vat using a conical fermenter with brass fittings (2 piece bulkhead, 90 degree elbow, 3" straight pipe, ball valve and barbed fitting all brass). I searched the WWW and could not find any problem with this plan. Brass is used in plumbing and not sure if the alcohol will be a problem. Any advice or website with relevant information would be appreciated. I could not find Stainless steel at the home/garden center and little time to order from McMaster-Carr or Grainger.
