When annealing case necks I stand them up in water deep enough to only anneal the case mouth. Once they're heated to the correct temperature I tip them over to "quench" them.

You're aware you cant "quench" brass yes? Not picking, I drop mine into a SS bowl of it after heating. I do it as I tend to anneal in big batches & dont want to create a heat soak pit by dropping a couple of hundred hot cases in higgldy-piggldy at a rate of one every 7 seconds.

I do the same, just air cool the cases. If you limit the heat application to just the neck and shoulder as Shamu does, you won’t risk annealing the case body and head.
