Castings Tea Recipe Opinions

[enTerpreneur]

I started my tea reg today and I brewed up some as follows , thought I would reach out for some opinions on recipe. This is for 5 gallons.

2.5 -3cups worm casting
3tsp great white
3 cups pro mix mycorrhizae
3 tbsp molasses
15 ml liquid karma
Bubbled 24 hrs with one air stone in the bag and another in the brew.
...
Opinions?

Nix the mycorrhizae and the great white. Add one or the other after the brewing is done right before you water it into your pots. The mycorrhizae need root surfaces to survive and the other beneficial bacteria in these products will overpopulate your tea.
No need for the liquid karma, the kelp in it is extremely diluted. Get some kelp meal instead, it's dirt cheap. You'll need more molasses, 15-20ml/gal should suffice (make sure it's unsulphured). You'll also need a larger air pump.

Give this link a read, it's the compost Brewers manual by Dr. Elaine Ingham, one of the authorities in aerated compost tea:

Also, give clackamas coot and microbe man a Google.

Should this batch still be beneficial?

As long as it doesn't smell like its rotting you should be good to go. I wouldn't foliar it with the mycos in, though.
