You can generally follow the instructions to building a vortex brewer but s=
ave yourself a lot of extra effort by using only one riser pipe. Not only i=
s the vortex pholosophy subjectively questionable but you can obtain a pret=
ty good vortex with one pipe anyway. Do some research a think about it.

BTW, sure you can dump the compost right into the water, so long as it does=
 not have big chunks.
