since i don't have a dog in this hunt, here's my 2 cents.....

an approach to consider, as an alternative, to all this swirling dialogue i=
s to decouple the extraction process from the brewing process as follows:

1. use agitation to move the biology from the solid to liquid phase;
2. filter out the solids;
3. add the extract to liquid to water in any brewer that can provide at lea=
st 6-7 ppm of DO.
4. brew as long as needed;
5. apply as needed;

This approach allows you to optimize each step which have different operati=
onal drivers, as well as, blend the dormant extract liquid with the active =
brew liquid, at the application phase.

This approach also allows for making and using multiple extract liquids alo=
ng with one or two active brew liquid for added biology complexity and func=
tionality.

This approach can allow for making multiple small volume brews (i.e. 5 gall=
ons) which can be more functional/flexible than one larger volume single br=
ew (i.e. 55-250 gallons). This is where parallel processing meets brewing.=
 

This approach, in addition, allows for adding a clean extract liquid to cle=
an water which makes brewer cleanup easier. There are minimal solids in the=
 brewer.

To create a great extraction process requires different operational paramet=
ers that creating a great brewing process.
