Compost tea smells funny, can I steel use it?

[royfree2grow]

Hi guys
I've brewed some ACT with BS Molasses, liquid kelp, and some humus and compost. After 24 hours it was foaming like a mf and smelled real strong, not funky though. 24 hours later, or 48 hours from when I was adding the ingredients to my chlorine free water, foam was starting to dry up and the smell was different to some extent and also funky, I steel watered with it.

Is it dangerous for the plants to be watered with this funky tea? Should I wait no more than 24 hours of brewing next time?

Thanks fellas!

Even with a "funky" smell it should be fine. I have yet to experience a tea that did damage to plants.

whoa!! if you smell some super funk, you can take a plant out with that...osmotic conentration in the cell will not like an alcohol type of tea once it turns...seen it take or fuck plants up. If it smells bad, throw it on your lawn!

act should smell good, if not, chuck it on the cucumbers and see how they do. 24 hour brew should be plenty. like your ingredients...i was using the liquid kelp/maxicrop but switched to kelp meal, not has soluble but feel better about using it.
keep brewing bro...
