what are the tubes for,if gassing is what your doing ,why not send the tube threw the lid of container and then run the tube to a coke bottle with lid unscrewed a bit and filled about 1/3 rd the way,then you get the gas,im not understanding why the cal mag in the mix for tea can you explain,ive just never heard of itHello dudes ,i am thinking to use more beneficial bacterial sources along with my anaerobic em1 beneficial bacteria i use already successfully .
So ,i need your thoughts about this question .
My tea consists : RO water ,cal ,mag,molasses ,fulvic and humic acids ,bit of liquid silica ,some kelp and mono potassium in the flowering tank .
Facts i already know :
a. I know kombucha has 0.5% alcohol but i guess it will be gassed out of the tank through bubbling .
b. I also know that the more microbe potent the lower ph is ,so this is an alternative to ph down products ,i used to use it in the past ,even if a bit more unstable .
c. It contains sugars (white suggar) ,this is good up to a point for the microbes to feed ,ie kombucha microbes are used to it already .
So ,will Kombucha drink as an aerobic microbes base input be multiplied into the aeriated compost tea ?
(I am not mentioning to em1 bacteria ,that will be just put in the final ready mix )
Thank you in advance and stay organic !!

Tubes are pumping air to the tea .what are the tubes for,if gassing is what your doing ,why not send the tube threw the lid of container and then run the tube to a coke bottle with lid unscrewed a bit and filled about 1/3 rd the way,then you get the gas,im not understanding why the cal mag in the mix for tea can you explain,ive just never heard of it
got ya,hel air is always a plus it makes all aerobic,anerobic is brewing ,ive heard of kumpucha just never looked into it,i asume it right up there with KNF,i make my own stuff,any thing fermented is pretty much acohol,i use the KNF in my container garden up top ,ive never seen any problems using the KNF or sign of no bioligy in the soil,OHN is pure alchol,and they love it or just get drunk either way the thrive damn wino's hahahgah,check this out,stop using the cal mag,instead take egg shells and slightly brown them,crush of course,but after you crush them stick in skillet or better yet do it on the grill,stinks to heaven if you dig,but slightly brown them shells,first off say a dozen eggs of shells,brown them,then take the shells and put in container with a lid,put in the jar and cover them with about 2 in over the top of them with white vinegar,put lid on and sit on the cabnet,watch the jar daily just go and thump the jar if it has any bubbles from doing it,let go until it doesnt,when you have no more bubbles,you then have grade a organic calcium,strain the shells out and walla,take some bones doesnt matter what kind,put on the grill and burn them bitchs to a ash like texture,no brown or black ,they should look like a log with ash on it,whitish color,take those bone and do same as you did with shell,after no bubbles you have grade a phosphurus,use this instead of the cal mag.Tubes are pumping air to the tea .
I am basicly asking thoughts about the kombucha addition ,if the aerobial beneficial bacteria will be more easily concentrated from the air into the solution,
if added some kompucha tea that is full of aeriated bacteriaas a base
Cal mag is just to fill the water tank with minerals for the plants ,because of ro filter,not for brewing .When i say "gass out" i mean that the alcohol will be aeriated so it will escape to the air ,so there will not be present to harm the roots .
Thank you for your response

lol really nice recipe dude bu for the moment i am gonna stick to liquid epsom salts and canna calcium mono ,i have already alot to care ,like my pets , a rabbit a snake and russet mites infection .got ya,hel air is always a plus it makes all aerobic,anerobic is brewing ,ive heard of kumpucha just never looked into it,i asume it right up there with KNF,i make my own stuff,any thing fermented is pretty much acohol,i use the KNF in my container garden up top ,ive never seen any problems using the KNF or sign of no bioligy in the soil,OHN is pure alchol,and they love it or just get drunk either way the thrive damn wino's hahahgah,check this out,stop using the cal mag,instead take egg shells and slightly brown them,crush of course,but after you crush them stick in skillet or better yet do it on the grill,stinks to heaven if you dig,but slightly brown them shells,first off say a dozen eggs of shells,brown them,then take the shells and put in container with a lid,put in the jar and cover them with about 2 in over the top of them with white vinegar,put lid on and sit on the cabnet,watch the jar daily just go and thump the jar if it has any bubbles from doing it,let go until it doesnt,when you have no more bubbles,you then have grade a organic calcium,strain the shells out and walla,take some bones doesnt matter what kind,put on the grill and burn them bitchs to a ash like texture,no brown or black ,they should look like a log with ash on it,whitish color,take those bone and do same as you did with shell,after no bubbles you have grade a phosphurus,use this instead of the cal mag
are you growing outdoors?take blood meal and put a ring around your plant about foot away from plant,keep it fresh smelling,rabbits deer coons possums,they cant stand the smell of danger,the snake i kill all but can also keep mice and rats away,mites you know the game,anyway just giving suggestions friend,my tea is 33 gal at a time,i bubble for 3 days,i take a painter bag sold at big box stores the kind that they use to sift lumps and shit from paint,then i take a handful of compost,all egg shells,coffe grinds and fruit peels from my compost bucket,then i add 1/2 cup each of kelp alfalfa meal,or bone meal which ever i have on hand,tie the bag off and suspend it in the can,hit the air,then i take cup of molases and 1/4 cup EM1 and let her go,3 days magic and foam all over the ground haaah,after it complete i add 1/2 cup fish emulsions it tend to work off the head if used before donelol really nice recipe dude bu for the moment i am gonna stick to liquid epsom salts and canna calcium mono ,i have already alot to care ,like my pets , a rabbit a snake and russet mites infection .
Kombucha collects aerobic bacteria and some that can live both ,i have used the scobby as amedment with no bad results till now but brewing them within a starter ,fermented tea already eating the molaasses sounds more beneficial to my brain .Thank you for your input dude !!

So this is actually a thing that I've thought about a bit, being a fermentation nerd, eventually deciding against it and going in favor of lactobacillus culture as a tea addition. I'll explain the reasoning...
Kombucha's fermentation process creates alcohol, carbon dioxide, and acid by consuming sugars over time, eventually creating an environment in which the scoby can't live anymore. Because it's not solely bacterial or yeast fermentation, there are a lot of variables that could affect the final product negatively. Additionally, I'm not sure of the effect of the tannins of the black tea on the roots- it's entirely possible that it's beneficial, but is that a variable that needs to be adjusted?
Lactobacillus is far simpler of a ferment (fill a mason jar with cabbage, cover that with water, add 5% of their combined weight in salt, leave at room temp, burp when you see bubbles, it's ready when it smells sour), can be added to other teas (like alfalfa or kelp) and with the addition of some molasses, a sealed container, and time, can create an effervescent effect equivalent to kombucha.
Plus this: ( https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/0c40/890b2fecf79dd03de54b402ba729e20579d1.pdf ) lays out, to my untrained eye, a few arguments that the presence of lactobacillus can be good for plant roots. If I'm not mistaken, Teaming with Microbes does as well.
