I built a smeltery. I have Gold and Aluminum Brass inside. I can pour the metal over stone parts to make a cast but when I try to pour the metal into the cast, nothing happens. I am playing Monster pack.

Have you taken the cast out of the table after you've made it?
Because if you're trying to pour metal into a cast directly after you've made it, it's still got the stone piece you used to cast it in there, so there's no room for metal

Aluminum brass can't be used to make anything other than ingots and other casts

Actually, if you watch the current DW20 Let's Play there's a mod in the current pack that has a wire spool that uses aluminum brass for wire. I'll find and post a link to the video.

[Edit] Here's an episode where DW20 uses the wire (At 18:07 or so). It's from Tinker's Construct. Also, Aluminum Brass ingots are used in the TiCo Drawbridges.

Tinkers Mech Works IIRC. I think it comes bundled with TiC

Make sure you remove the cast, then the stone piece, then replace the cast. As it is the cast is in the 'output' slot, while stone piece is in the input. Until you remove and replace them it won't work. Also, ensure that the metal you're pouring is valid. You can click the one you want to pour to put it on the bottom.
