Let me see if I'm reading these post right.
You need the following to brew good tea.
1-Clean brewing equipment every time. No Bio-SLIME!!
2-Air bubbles not to big not to small.
3-Oxygen meter to be sure.
4-Water not to hard not to soft, definitely not chlorinated.
5-A Ph meter to be sure.
6-Water temperature not to cold not to hot.
7-A thermometer to be sure.
8-A consistent and preferably guaranted source of compost with good
fungal and bacteria numbers.
9-Sound recipes that give good numbers every time you brew a batch.
10-Don't over brew or under brew.
11-Keep out of direct sunlight.
12-Apply right away early morning or late at night.

And that is the short list.

K~ True, yet with a positive attitude and experience, the logistics of a successful program are achievable. There are speacialists as well as enthusiasts who accomplish this, they can really help get you going with a solid program; just ask, bro.

HY1~ Until there are some sound consumer protections in place. Required testing and some sort of written standards, guarantees not disclaimers.

There will continue to be systems and products sold that
are pretty much useless. An industry that is self regulated is open to anything and everyone pedaling their wares without accountability.

K~ Protection is the role of education; those of on this list are very fortunate to be so well educated. Be a friend, share your knowledge with your neighbor so the wisdom is perpetuated. Buyer beware; let us not allow ourselves fall victim to ignorance. We are free men and women with the freedom of choice. Choose to be knowledgable. There are adequate industry regulations in place which are sufficient. Combined with the good scientific principles and practices now identified, we achieve consistent favorable results. Further regulation of this industry will indicate we are not capable of this responsibility.

HY1~ Mandatory testing and standards should be required by those selling CT products.

K~ There is a service provided by SFI called the Quality Assurrance Program which lists reliable Compost Tea Centers from whom you may confidently purchase Compost Tea as well as Manufacturers of Compost Tea Brewers from whom you may Purchase Equipment and Supplies. Give me a call. As a Certified SFI Advisor I would welcome an opportunity to assist you in these choices as well as others which may be involved in developing the best system for you and your growing situation, biologically.

HY1~ At their cost not the consumers.

K~ All costs are inevitabley passed on to consumers. We are already super priveledged to have such kind and gracious individuals generously sharing their information and experience with us. Contribute! You reminded me about the consideration of genetics. Identify peoples or a professional you can work with whom you trust. Please let me know if I can help you gain this confidence.

HY1~ Maybe testing of our CT sauce should be free for everyone out there. Then just maybe we might be able to come up with some good sound repeatable data.

K~ I trust your volunteerism will be greatly appreciated by the entire community. We could greatly benefit from your charitable donation of time and energy to perform such free services for this science & industry. Could you please be more specific with what resources you are able to contribute to the further development of AACT?

One way you can aquire good, sound, repeatable data is to use the contact information listed below. Though I am sure you are already doing great, keep up the good work! Let us know when and how we can help you.

HY1~ And PLEASE a little less ADVERTISING when posting. It seems those with the most to say are in the business, if ya know what I mean. Take care.

K~ True, I am in the business. There are those in the market for advising. I will be happy to aid those who would like further assistance. I do believe it splendid of those who have insight continue to share in this forum, and one on one, from all walks of life. Much gratitude.

Sincerely~
Kev
