Hi Judy, mind if I cut in? Please go lighter on the molasses and fish until you get the added air. I think you will find the foam whther you put the molasses in the tank of in the chamber. Unless the molasses just sinks to the bottom and stays there. to avoid both problems mix molasses in hot water, pour in about 1/4th the total at a time, an hour more or less apart., do this early in the brew. then add the fish late in the brew. even up to 3 - 3 hours bfore you want to use the brew.
 
2) different subject. If you have chlorine free water you can add water as TEA is removed if ou add molasses and fish to the remaining brew. give the new wate and new food some time to grow microbes. You can even add some - 1/4 the original total + - if the removal will be over a period of some hours. Will the TEA be exactly the same every time? No. It will not e exactly the same from time to time anyhow. But it will be useful and may even be better. this is better done by feeding the compost days ahead and adding a little of the combined compost/ nutrient. to the new/ water/ brew mix when a part of the tea is taken. that way your 250g brew could be 350 by the end of a day.
