> Fermenting tea?  What do you mean by that, exactly? 

In France ACT is "classified" in the catégorie of "extrait= s
fermentés" which refers to the fact that the process ACT goes
through is a fermentation process. Isn't that a correct description
of the process?

 
> Any clues on what kind of smell.  I know describing a smell is hard,  but a clue or two would be good.

we analysed the smell in our last batch for which the compost used
was a vermicompost made from 100% horse manure. The smell that we
had was a kind of a smell of raw horse manure, but not as pleasant
as the actual smell of raw horse manure (for those of us who
actually like the smell of raw horse manure), there was a bit of a
foetid undertone. We try to be very clean and we don t see any bio
film in the machine but we only clean (thoroughly) with water
between batches.

As for the tests we are still limited by the fact that there is the
Pacific ocean between us and the closest SFI lab!

thank you for the help
