Re: [compost_tea] ACT Test
I'm in Southern California and have a Sotillo 50 gal machine. At this time=
of year I would expect the machine to run 80-85*F. Everyone has to start =
in the morning right, so that the tea can be sent for sampling the next mor=
ning? We'll need to compare machine sizes in paired groups, there is no wa=
y to compare a 5 gal with a 50 gal brew . . too many unknowns. Maybe 50's=
and 100's could compare but even that is a stretch. We should be able to =
find four people with approximately the same sized machines, whether commer=
cial or home made, I would hope. I would suggest we use our combined exper=
iences to come up with a recipe that can be agreed on. I think everyone ne=
eds to chime in on what size machines they have. I'd be willing to be secr=
etary if everyone will just use the same heading like the ACT Test that is =
now in the subject line.

Jeff, thanks for that good news. Now we have a standard compost.
What are the next steps?
What will be the standard recipe for the size of the machine, temperature=
, etc.?
Should ingredients be determined by SFI?
Should compost amounts be determined by SFI or the manufacturer of the br=
ewer?
Which one of you will take the lead and put this shebang together? (I ima=
gine there
would be e-mails off-list in handling this.)
Who out there is willing to participate in testing? Lurkers are needed an=
d wanted.
How many are participating and which brewers are included?
If the brewer manufacturers are not on this list will they be contacted t=
o join the test?

If SFI does the testing, we will throw in the Alaska Humus as the compost=
to use......
