Let the brass soak for 20-30 minutes or until you are happy with the depth of color. Rinse with hot water and then cold water. Be 100% sure to get the brass completely dry before storing it.
I have done 300 WTF, 223 AI, 308 and 338 Lapua. I am not planning on doing it ever again. Waaay to stinky. You think a pile of deer or elk guts stinks? They dont hold a candle to this stuff.
If I was to do it again, it would be at the range when nobody is around and wearing a respirator.
So if you blacken your brass *and* then use moly coated bullets and you have complete ninja ammo.
