Re: [compost_tea] Sunday Ad Bitty Brewer



Sunday Ad   1 12 2003  Many hours of research and testing goes into assuring a brewer will perform in use.  The cost is not in the brewer.  The cost is in the testing. Testing never stops.  That is why I so value the test reports of customers.  Every customer uses a bewer differently and under different conditions and with different compost and nutrients - for different soil, different plants. The variation is infinite.  When all the users find a brewer working well for them - that is when I know the system is close to right.  So to each of you using Bob's brewers - thanks for the reports and please keep them coming.  I will keep testing with SFI and will let you see the results..

A few months ago I was asked to produce a small model so folks in a cold climate could bring the system indoors and continue testing and prducing tea in smaller amounts.  Bob's " Bitty Brewer"  is the name that evolved along with the tiny brewer. It will purr quietly in a kitchen and  wash up in a kitchen sink.  

It was targeted to brew 5 gallons.  It will brew  a minimum of 3g to a maximum of 30g with changes in recipe to fit the quantity.  Tests with SFI are in progress. It is very much like the bigger Bob's Brewer.  Tests so far indicate it will perform much like the bigger Bob's.  (Jeff calls it Bob-O-Lator - and  Bob's Bitty-O-Lator but I'm having trouble adopting those names so I just came close  Any opinions?  The name contest is still open)   The winner gets a Bitty ! 

Typical testing: -  I ordered an air compressor for this tiny brewer based on a catalogue spec.  The air output seemed lower than expected.  Actual volume testing proved that the air produced was just 1/3 the specification.  Typical of testing needed every step along the path to a good product.  Another question -  Are Air Stones the way to best bewing?  Stones produce a wonderful bubble pattern better than the very fine drilled holes used for a Bob's aerator.  When the air pressure is removed while stones are submerged in clean water- no poblem.  When submerged in TEA the bacteria and fungi of the tea enter the stones.  How to clean the stones?  Hcl acid?   I don't want to ask a customer to play with that stuff.    

Anyone interested in a brewer that is user friendly capable from 3 to 500 gallons or for agriculture on up in volume, I will be pleased to hear from you.
