Is it ok to use brass pieces for your keggle diptube connection???

[bgough]

Or do you need stainless? If its ok to use brass, do I have to do anything to clean or prepare it before I boil in the keggle?

I'm not sure about brass for boiling. Check out the appendix in How to Brew on metals. www.howtobrew.com

Honestly if I were you I would use copper pieces. Definitely no issues with boiling those.

I think that its no problem, I'm not positive, but i think that brass is made with copper and some other metals. I think that brass copper and stainless are the three metals that are brewery safe

Brass (pickled or not) is perfectly fine for use in the brewery. No proven issues whatsoever except for myths and unfounded fear...
