[QUOTE="aviator41, post: 2361024, member: 30309"] Wouldn't be too worried about the acetic acid after effects. you will know very quickly if you don't have it all removed as the cases will quickly tarnish during drying. Key indicator that all the vinegar hasn't been neutralized. A quick rinse with some water with a pinch of powdered laundry detergent, or a teaspoon of liquid concentrate, agitate for a moment, then dump the cases into a strainer and rinse them with water as you turn them over by hand. then a dip in a bowl of alcohol and onto a cookie sheet lined with several layers of paper towels to soak up the alcohol. It's infinitely hygroscopic, leave the brass gleaming (or ready for the tumbler, either way). I've even dumped the wet brass right from the rinse onto the cookie sheet, poured alcohol over them and rolled them around, then let them air dry so the outsides don't tarnish. This works best when you know the cases are going right into a vibratory or rotating tumbler though. [/QUOTE]
