Bob,
 
If we're now using a Bitti, should we.
 
1. supplement the air
2. use less compost
3. use fewer nutrients
4. apportion the nutrients over time
5. change nothing
6. do something else
 
Thanks,
 
Judi

Oxygen levels
 
Hi TaChung - Your information is right. The test results showed much
higher microbe activity in brewer #1 on run 1 and run 3. Not as good as
we expected but bacteria of 2,000 or more, fungal of 3 test 1 and test
3, 5.8 . We have used the Bitti with the moderate amount of air
Elaine mentioned. It delivers well with most recipes but fish proves to
be MUCH more activating that I expected. And compost in brewer 1 ( GU
) was apparently much more active with fish than were the other
composts. Our conclusion is that more air is essential with some
recipes. So more air is in our plans for future production. Bob
