That's pretty labor intensive. I recommend you get the citirc acid in place of the vinegar. When I've used the old NRA vinegar formula, if I let the washed brass sit out a couple of days it tarnishes. The citric acid doesn't seem to do that. About $32 will get you 10 lbs (enough to make 24 gallons of solution), S&H included, here. There is a thread full of examples on castboolits.com.
