What are the high and low temps for making Compost Tea?
How do you maintain the tempature. Do you make the Compost Tea inside or outside?

I find that 76 degrees is about perfect for our location at about six hundred feet above sea level. This can be maintained using a 300 watt fish tank heater. I make my aerobic compost tea outside. I use the guidelines found on the North Country Organics web site. Using the brewer design I have recently shared here the brew can be finished in eighteen hours and have proven known levels of all soil biology included in the brew. Those test reports are on the same web site. The tests were made using their tea quality compost, boosters and suggested other additives including a small amount of fish, kelp and molasses to feed the expanding biological family.

Thanks Doc I live about 6 miles to the Pacific Ocean, and about 59 feet above sea level. Over night temp will be about 55 deg and day time at 70 deg.

Thanks again for all the information You Sent John
