Nice work, as always pikeman!
Do you have any problems with the brass oxidizing(inside the tube) and coming off with the first bit of meat?

No I have never had a problem. The only substance that I know that attacks brass real fast if ammonia and that will turn it kind of a green color. As far as I know not much of my sausage has ammonia in it.I just clean it well and dry them and put them in a zip lock bag. You should always give your equipment a quick wash before starting a project. Unless you are Rick and you equipment never has time to dry. ;D :-*
I have access to stainless of the same sizes. It is just about twice as expensive and takes a special flux to solder it to the brass, or you can silver solder it which it my preference. I think you might be thinking of copper. With time copper will turn green form the oxidation.

Brass will tarnish and corrode as well, but no where near how copper does.
Might have to consider some brass for my next size, like you stated way cheaper than SS.
