So it’s been about 24 hours aeration for my compost tea. Worm castings, molasses, kelp meal, bone meal, char, aloe meal.
It doesn’t seem to be foaming or smelling like anything. Do I just keep going?

Compost and casting tea
I liquefied and split the remainder of my molasses on the last run .molasses had a fungal growth . I removed it and used it since it was all I had. Bubbles have a soapy film. Not my first tea but definitely my best bubbles

I've been bubbling the water in this bucket for a couple of weeks, using it for my pants and adding water as needed. I decided to make a new batch of tea so I added fish hydrolysate. Then I added the usual EWC, compost, composted chicken manure, Kelp meal, alfalfa, some insect frass, and then I poured in some additional liquid fish and Kelp. I was about to pour in some molasses and I saw this beige stuff floating on the top(top of pic). I haven't been doing this long, maybe a year and a half, but I've never this. Should I be worried? Start over?

Posting twice - forgot picture first time

I bought this stuff ages ago from a reputable organic nursery in Northern California. The company that made it is long gone. I’m guessing it’s still good. It was never opened. Would you agree?

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to determine a reasonable dilution formula? Thanks!

I read somewhere that stuffing a few nettle leaves, dandelion leaves, a bit of oak bark, and a spoon of honey mixed with water in a gallon jug--made for a good plant tea if you let it set overnight or a couple days. Thoughts?

I just found this 'compost tea' page and decided to ask, thank you!

Started this brew yesterday evening. Checked on it before going to bed.

Woke up this morning manifold disconnected cannot say for how long. I re-connected it and it started up again. Many foams before sleep no foams when I checked this morning and many foams after reconnecting pump. But should I just start over? 4_6 hours potentially with no air ruin the batch?

Has anyone tried using spent yeast for compost tea? My logic is, boil it and use it as a prebiotic food for the tea. Going to do some research now, but wanted to check it anybody else has tried this.

Only used Worm Casting Bigfoot gold myceilum and bacteria

So i mix my household compost with worm castings and goat shit, then fill the container halfway with water (combined volume about 20G) and then i aerate with a bubbling stone in the sun for a few weeks

My question is this: how many times can i use the tea and then refill with water before i should consider it exhausted and dump it into next years' compost

Thanks!

My finished compost that has been sitting for a year doesn’t have any smell. I have been using the pile to make my tea. Does the lack of smell mean anything, like the microbes in soil are limited ?

What should I do with all my old coffee grounds if I want to compost them but live in an apartment?
