Air requiered is based on microbes ( compost and nutrient content, not water.
 
about 1 cfm per lb of compost / nutrient mix used.
 
We use about 1 lb of this mix ( Compost 3parts to nutrients 1 part )per 10 gallons of water. Bob of Bob's Brewers.

Hey everyone,
I am new to the group (about a month) and have been reading the
posts to date.
I concider myself a life-long-learner and this is a new area of
study for me. I am here to learn about compost tea and its related
agricultural applications. I have many questions for example;

-How much air should be injected (per gallon) for brewing?
-What length of time should the tea brew for?
-What types of compost recipes (different combination of ingredients)
are being used in the teas?
-Has anyone done comparative studies on veggies and small fruits
with different teas to increase the Brix levels contained within
them?....etc.....

  So far its like I am a student sitting in a routy classroom
waiting for the teachers to arrive. I know I can find most of my
answers in books, and for some questions I will seek out that
information, but for now I would perfer a dialog with others to
reflect and share ideas with. I hope this can be a place where I can
learn and maybe meet some interesting people along the way.
                                                    Thanks; Jon
