I'm working on a basement bar build and need to run some shanks through a brick wall with an air gap. It's a hair under 11 inches, all told - seriously!
I can find chrome plated brass shanks no problem, but I've read horror stories about the chrome flaking off. I can find stainless steel, but the absolute longest I saw was 10⅛.
Does anyone know where to source longer shanks? Would a non-chromed brass shank be OK? Are my fears of the chrome shanks disintegrating and leaving a metallic taste in my beer unfounded?
