that have used the vinegar/water mix to clean your brass...

Do you put your brass in the "brew" before you deprime or after you deprime?

Same question for you guys that use a tumbler.

TIA

  I put mine in the tumbler first, that way you won't get dirt in your die, or media stuck in the flash hole. Pita cleaning flash holes[:(][;)]
  Never tried the water/vinegar mix.

  I use water/white vinegar (boiling temp) to clean any of the remaining lube from the cases.

  I used to use the old NRA water, venegar, salt formula to clean dirty, scrounged-up cases. I USUALLY deprimed first on the theory I could visually check for thorough dryness in the primer pocket. I did not clean the cases after every firing; only made sure they were wiped clean before sizing them. Discolored brass does not bother me, especially when loading large quanity for competition
  Added: I did not deprime in the sizing die, but deprimed each case by hand with a punch and hammer.

  I do not deprime my cases before tumbling. I deprime and clean the flash hole with a primer pocket brush after tumbling.

  I use Nu Finish car wax...better than any polish additive.

  I use a universal deprimer, then use reverse osmosis water and white vinegar in a 50/50 mix with a drop of dishwashing soap in my ultrasonic cleaner. That way the primer pockets get cleaned of all the residue.
  
  I use R/O water because our water has a lot on minerals left in it even after going through the softener. That way I don't have any deposits or staining on my brass from the minerals.
