Would brass spigots be safer?

There are brass spigots out there. Would they not be safer?

until the tea is done. The tap can be unscrewed and removed for more through

cleaning. You could replace the spigot.

Brass would be very unsafe in the acidic kombucha environment, it

would corrode and pollute the tea overnight..

Food grade plastic is far better, please use non-reactive brewing

materials only.
