Hi all. I have built a copper wort chiller. I used 3/8" copper but I could not find 90˚*copper elbows locally. I did find a 90˚brass compression fitting. Is it OK to use brass in a immersion chiller? I used it to make a nice 90˚ turn at the bottom of the chiller where the cold water goes into the chiller. I didn't know if there would be any ill effects by boiling brass in my wort. Thanks.
