Hi Jason -

The KIS machine (5 and 30 gal), the Alaska Giant (1 and 5 gal), the Bob-A-Lators (you buy the container size you want and adjust the innards), and the EPM 22 gal machine are all small, and relatively inexpensive.  The Alaska Giant is least expensive, but you have to replace the soaker hose now and again.  The KIS machine is about $135, but easy to use, great teas.  We've been trying to get the machine to grow E. coli, but can't do it.  Whatever E. coli might come in with the compost doesn't grow at all in the KIS brewer, and often is killed in the KIS brewer.  We have only tested one other brewer for it's E. coli growth capacity, and it grows E. coli  just fine, because it goes anaerobic every time we have tested the tea maker.     .............  <snip>
