Thread: Annealing brass - too hot?

Thanks for all the inputs. I see there are a lot of different ideas out there.
From all the reading ive done the data on brass annealing and quick or slow cooling supports the post from @sneeze above. Rapid cooling is not effective. And that’s been basis of my approach & set up to date.
I put out the original post and photo to seek advice and do so without any bias on my part.
I think i can rule out the “over cooked” scenario I’m my split necks.
