Is it simply scale , as if you start with 1qt. of compost in 50 instead of 5 gallons as the video shows, you have introduced the bact. and fungal properties to it and they will multiply regardless of scale. Am i wrong on this assumption.
The only thing i have increased is the food source as in the case of molasses to the brew,,,, one half ounce per gallon of water.
24 hrs is all the time the Doctor calls for with the 5 gallons.Should I brew for 30 as bacteria will double every such amount of time (not sure)
Evan just starting with only 2 bacteria in amillion gallons of water will eventually reproduce to higher than we care to think.
As for the aeration,,,, i use a hose supplied from very large shop air compressor,,, No Stones attached. Just place in bottom of the drum and valve cracked open just enuf to supply air in nice proportionate amount.
I have also heard ppl that leave a small amount of brew in bottom of the tea maker and just adding water and food source to the mix....they never added fresh compost ... some would use the same tea bag for more than one brew !
I Plan on using the tea up right after the brewing process as anytime you stop aeration,,,your beneficials start to die , as well as when they run out of food source , in this case ,molasses.
From what i have read , if you make and dont use it right away, you have done nothing.
Thankyou for all you input in this matter
