Jose,
A 500 gallon brew requires only 15 pounds of compost/humus, so I don't thin=
k your numbers are correct....should be at most, 37 or so pounds of compos=
t. Here are the numbers I use:
25 Gallons = 5 lbs (20 cups). 50 Gallons = 7 lbs (28 cups). 500 Gallon=
s = 15 lbs (60 cups)
Of course, the amount differs from brewer to brew and you will have to have=
yours tested to find the right quantity. The above numbers work for most a=
ny commercial brewer using good compost/humus.
Cheers,
Jeff
