Okay, hi_yield, put your thinking cap on. You don't have to be the only one
that uses that tested tea. If you could get 3 other people to share the
costs with you, you could lower your costs by splitting them up via
distributing to your group the tea you make and having them kick in to pay
for the experiment. That still means you need a brewer and ingredients.

If everyone is growing veggies, then everyone will want a similar compost
tea composition from the "needs for that type of plant" perspective. It's
not possible to know from that whether people have wildly different soil
situations that would benefit from being addressed.

But, as Elaine said, you may discover that your soil is in such great shape
that tea will only add incremental benefit.

Oh, by the way, when you did apply that compost tea you bought, did you put
down any foods with it (like kelp, humic acid, or fish hydrolysate)? I
believe Elaine has said that the benefits of the tea are supposed to be far
greater when you feed the critters as you lay down the tea.
