Thread: Annealing Brass

All you're doing when annealing is applying heat. Any heat source (provided it's hot enough) will do. For common brasses you're shooting for temps between 800 degrees and 1400 degrees.. If you don't have access to a torch you can use a charcoal fire or an electric stove eye to anneal brass although one of the small hand torches from the local hardware store is hard to beat for versatility or convenience.
