    My buddy suggested that if I was feeling bold I could savage some old batteries for the zinc, melt it down and cast my own brass.

I doubt you need anyone telling you that, but make sure to not disturb the surface too much once you get those two molten together. Zinc is crazy eager to oxidise in those conditions, which, once started, causes even more disturbances and splashing. Plus everything around it will be covered in that yellow crap.
