> Will CS work in stainless sinks?

Julie: Most stainless steels form an invisible, protective oxide coating. 
However, I can't say for sure if it will work or not. Why not run a small 
scale test by placing a strip of the same stainless steel alloy you plan to 
use in a glass container filled with your CS brew, you could sample it over 
time monitoring conductivity & Tyndall. Do the same with a "control", but 
this container will have NO stainless in contact with the CS. I would say a 
week or two at room temperature should tell you something. If you still have 
doubts at the end of two weeks, submit both samples to Ole' Bob for silver 
analysis. Roger

 What about galvanized stainless steel?

Julie: I would NOT use galvanized steel under any circumstances.

  It's okay in ceramic tubs, right?

Julie: Right.
