I've been looking for something that will generage 8+ CFM and they
aren't easy to find. Anyone have any suggestions? I see there are High
Volume Low Pressure painting systems that put out 90+ CFM. Anyone have
any experience with these?

I'm setting up a 250 gallon plastic fertilizer container for compost
tea. Can anyone tell me how many cfm I need? Looking to keep the DO as
high as possible. I have a whitewater LT26 that puts out 4.2 CFM, but
when I hooked this up to a soaker hose, I didn't get as much action as I
was expecting.

Peter, I was told by P. Wagner of SFI NY as a minimum 1L/Minute per
gallon which comes to .035 cfm per gallon. For 250 gallons that says
8.8 CFM so according to that you are about half required.

Maybe the commercial brewers would like to comment on the above numbers
and say if they agree/disagree. They seem reasonable to me from what I
know.
