But if I can just pre-rinse and re-use the solution, that could work well too, maybe a 5 gallon bucket and a basket of some kind to pick the brass up after a quick dip in there? Would you want to use a glass container for the citric acid solution so you can reheat it, or is room temperature OK? (I'm patient, I can deal with a couple minutes wait, always other things to do, just don't leave it in there a month LOL)
I already use Citric Acid for zesting up Lemon Pepper and other spices, it's in a LOT of spice products among other uses. Nice to know about the Fruit Fresh as a source. It's also sold on the usual auction site at about $6 a pound (if you look around through a few auctions and buy a pound at a time.) Probably cheaper if you get more, but a pound is a bit of that stuff.
