Default Brazing aluminum question

Is it possible to braze aluminum to steel brake line? I sorta half tried it the other night and the melted rod just didn't seem to stick to the aluminum. Is it even possible to do?

It's possible. I picked up some at a gun show and it works pretty well. It's not as strong as welding but it gets the job done.
