Brass takes lots of heat to melt. You might try just tapping and forming it with a hammer and anvil.
good luck,

Approximate Melting point of lead - 621 deg. F.
Copper - 1981
tin - 450
zinc - 787
Bismuth - 520
Brass - 1675 deg. F.
As Larry was saying, melting scrap brass is probably not the best way to do it.
