How much food are you adding to the brew? 5 L air per L water can be too
little, if you add lots of foods.

hi bob
We aerate at a rate of 5 liters of air per litre of liquide per
hour. Could that be insufficient? The brew is mixed very well during
the whole process and there are no stagnation areas in the tank.
