Re: [compost_tea] Puzzled!!!



Hopefully, you did not seal the bottles.  But if they were sealed, and they didn't start stinking, then you didn't have bad guys in the tea to foul things up, and everything was asleep enough to not be a problem. 
Yes - they were sealed up and only opened to allow a sniff @ 24, 48, & 72 hours.
Didn't read your instructions properly I guess.
SO . . . could the tea "go off" faster with the lids off?
 
 
If the organisms are still rapidly growing, they should use up the oxygen and make things smelly.  But, if they use up all the food while you are still aerating, and the organisms start to slow down because they have no food, then they may be high in number, but not in activity.
Is a CT which is high in organism numbers but low in activity very effective ?

Add nutrient to your compost/humus to wake up the fungi and get them growing BEFORE you add it to tea.  It is easy.  Well, it is easy to do if you use ALASKA HUMUS.
I made up the grain fungi foods as described by Jose and mixed it with my vermi-compost. After two days i saw something that looked like a mold on the surface and no fungal hyphae. Now I'll mix it with my compost and see what happens.
