There is no reason for *galvanic* corrosion to appear with that

(as in your stainless) because of the zinc. And if the brass is 85%
copper -- in other words, red brass, or plumbinb brass, the zinc
generally won't leach out. Bronze can be almost anything, but most
bronzes are low in the low-potential alloying metals.

Ed,

How is a brass-zinc connection? I'm no expert but it seems that
there would be no zinc leaching from the brass. If it's good, then
how about assembling the brass-steel joints with hot dipped steel
plates in the joint and use hot dipped steel hardware?
