Oh also I found this to be pretty interesting...
If you go to that site and read about half way down when they go into their AACT recipe it says NEVER USE BLACKSTRAP MOLASSES!! Now I personally use a cpl tablespoons when brewing teas but am excited to try some Progressive Farms Earth Syrup I got on the way...but i digress....It goes on to say that simple sugars/carbs like that found in molasses is like junkfood for the bennies and really most people end up brewing anaerobic teas most of the time bc the bacteria takes over and nothing else lives...Again this is all coming from them but I feel like im curious what yous guys opinions/experiences are with this...
I use organic agave nectar. see below.
Thru a bunch of research all ive gathered from compost teas is that u get microbes nothing more unless you add shit like kelp etc. why do all that brewing n shit when u can just get a powdered or liquid microbial innoculant like orca or photo plus or the slept on foxfarm root drench liquid thats more diverse that any of those. I could be wrong about compost teas but from everything ive gathered thats my conclusion.
You will never get AEROBIC organisms from a bottled product... only ANAEROBES.
I must point you to my friend Dr Tim Wilson. Some of you may know him as MicrobeMan. He is the end all be all in the field of microbial extrapolations (aerated compost teas). In fact he owns the patent on the cone bottom brewer. He's spent more time with his face to a microscope than anyone else I know.
