derry n.h u.s.a.

I MAKE 5 gallons at a time, in a drywall bucket.I use a small air pump with a fourway hose setup with airstones(3)weighted so they stay on the bottom.I fill with clean decloranated watar(I have a charcoal filter on my sillcaulk)I add 1/2cup of humic 12%(bought from neptunes harvest)1 1/2 tablespoons of molassis(nonsulfered)and use a set of my wifes pantyhose as a compost holder or bag(10 or 12 sets of bags from 1 pair!)My compost is always old manure with lots of red wigglers in it so i know its healthy.I brew for 24 hours.After 10 to 12 hours i always see a good foam head forming maybe 2" tall.My air temp is in the high 70's to low 80's.When its done it smells good to me kinda earthy,but does not smell gross or anything.Does this sound like a good mix to anyone else?or like im on the right track.I,ve made two applications so far about 2 weeks apart. Any input would be great.Thanks in advance.John

I'm no expert, but your receipe is similar to mine....except that I use worm castings. I've got the healthiest plants I have ever had this year.
