How I Made a Compost Tea Brewer & Saved $4,000 USD | Regenerative Agriculture

Nice Stef - that really makes a large scale brewer more accessible.

Great info for the people! I also rock the home made brewer vary similar same results!

Good job mate!

I just want to say thank you. This is hands down, one of the most valuable things I have found online to help my farm. I greatly appreciate it and am a new sub!

Great tips. Cool aerial shots and editing!

Thank you so much, much. Appreciated

I am already a subscriber so I feel that I have to be a commenter just to add the extra thumbs up 👍 because I can’t believe that YouTube will only allow one official 👍 it isn’t what I want never just one for my favourite teachers🍎🍏🍎🍏🍎🤔👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖🤷🏼‍♀️. Thank you for this brewing tea episode 🙋🏼‍♀️

Actually a pretty good build. No mention of air blower cost that I caught.

Very nice brewer! Almost like my version

Love your Brewer and Tea recipe! Are you still using the same brewer? have you made any modifications? How long does the tea stay viable?

not a slip joint but a compression fitting

Great practical tips! Where can you buy the tank and base?

where did you get your air pump from? how do you rate a pump for 150 gallonbrewer

Hey Stefano, in the process of building one now. Where did you get the air check valve? The one from Amazon needs a coupler and yours seems to slip right on. Thanks!

How did this work out for you? I made a 250 gal brewer using the same blower after watching this. Fired it up today and found this blower puts out really really hot air! Just noticed these spa blowers don’t have an external heat sink like regenerative blowers usually sold for large brewers. So appears to have something Internal and blows that hot air right into the delivery tube. Did you notice this? If so, how did you manage it? I’m pretty bummed right now. Ambient temp is currently over 90 during the day. Not sure how good an idea it would be to blow 150 degree air into the brewer.

Hey Stefano, thanks for the info, very much appreciated for putting this out there. Is there information in Elaine's program about the benefits of a tea vs an extract? I would assume a tea has magnitudes more bacteria/fungi spores since it has time to multiply. Also, is there a "best" time to have the tea ferment? Ive heard 12 hours is great, after which the bacteria has eaten all the food and no point leaving it on for longer. Also, do you use the johnson su reactor to make your compost?

Curious how much vermicompost is suggested for this size tank?

Hey Stefano- nice work. Was sent by Bret over at PermaResilience. One concern that I have is how you mounted the motor to the plastic tank with a substantial cantilever. You are working against physics in this scenario. At a minimum, I would apply a vertical support to the cantilevered board but better yet, support the motor vertically. My 2 cents. Thanks for the video.

Where did you buy the cone and base at?

Wouldn't drilling directly into the tank risk it cracking?
