Default SS couplings

I got a bunch of 1/2" or so SS tubing that I want to use with my brewing
equipment. Anyone got any Swagelocks for said tubing? Does one need to
use SS, or can regular brass work?

Steve, I don't know what pressure you will have in the tubing but brass
fittings (olives) will not bite into the stainless tube. You can use
stainless fittings on copper tube but not the other way around. If your
pressure / safety issues are low then brass on stainless will probably be
ok.
