I agree a DO meter isn't necessary. If you are doing a lot of testing of n=
utrients, I find a DO meter very useful. If I was just brewing for my back=
 yard or house plants, I would just use a given recipe. I thought Jon want=
ed to experiment.

you'll need a dissolved oxygen meter (DO or O2) to make sure it doesn't go =
below 6 parts per million.



  I disagree, respectfully. You can use your nose to make sure your tea is =
not going anaerobic....If it doesn't smell bad, you probably have enough O2
