Brewtan B is supposed to chelate the copper if used just before adding the immersion chiller to the boil.

I did no sparge in a cooler lined with a BIAB for years. I recently got a Foundry because an all in one electric system has always appealed to me and the Foundry was at the right price point for me.

I have my eye on Jaded's keg immersion chiller, but I'm leery about copper instead of stainless when it comes to potential for oxidation.

correct me if I'm worng, but doesnt copper develop an oxide layer on it after some use that prevents it from leeching?
