Buddy,
Just because you don't like my original answer, doesn't make it wrong. If you're not willing to hear the answer from me, then why don't you listen to ITB or Waayne or any of the other people who have posted.
Get a microscope and a DO meter and do a test for yourself if you don't believe me. Or post some data sets from a company making this claim (Vermicrop is the only company I'm aware of that does this).
You're correct that partying in Vegas does not invalidate their products. However, their prices and poor design, combined with their knowledge and behavior when I met them, makes it impossible for me to see them as a serious horticultural company. This is my opinion.
Now if you wish you post something that proves me wrong on ANYTHING I've written regarding the storage of compost teas and refrigeration feel free to do so.
You want other resources? How about contacting Jeff Lowenfels, author of "Teaming with Microbes?" You can reach him and others in the ACT industry through his Yahoo Group at groups.yahoo.com, search for compost_tea. Why not post your question there? Another resource? Email Elaine Ingham of SFI or contact any of their labs (www.soilfoodweb.com). Look for any legitimate company that manufacturers compost tea brewing machines and shows lab testing or microscopy on their products. I can guarantee that none of them recommend refrigeration or a shelf life.
Pretty large chip you've got on your shoulder. Don't know where it came from, but it's unfortunate that it keeps you from learning and improving upon your growing methods based on the knowledge and testing of others.
I'm fully willing to accept when I'm wrong or don't know something. You won't see me posting about EM or bokashi, because I have no experience with it. You say you want to learn from growers, well this is your chance to do so. How about having a little bit more respect for people that take the time to answer your questions, and you might have more success in life.
