I ask because I got a drip tip with the AGA-T2 I bought ages ago, It sort off looked plated and it turned out it was. After using it the plating started wearing off where it was pushed into the top of the atty.

I assume Brass is not a good thing (issues with plating on the original Dream and people not using them) so I binned it - shame really as it was a nice stubby thing.

So.....did I do the right thing?
 
Some juices have citric acid in them, which causes the brass to oxidise, kind of turning it a goopy greenish black nasty. Yes I think you did the right thing :)

Thank you for confirming what I feared, at least I didn't bin it away without good reason!
