PLUS AN ADDED BONUS !!
You get Brian’s “Aerated Castings Tea Mini-Guide.”
This guide is only available to people who purchase qualifying Aerated Tea making products from Brian.
The guide goes into making Castings Water Extracts, Non-Aerated Castings Tea (NACT) & Aerated Castings Tea (ACT).
Of course you can make the same products from COMPOST instead of WORM CASTINGS.
It gives you step-by-step instructions, including a handy reference chart for different sized brews, recipes & application rates/areas.
It teaches you about the simplest way to apply Worm Castings in a Water Extract – to the middle ground of Non-Aerated Castings Tea (you probably have everything you need to do NACT !) – to the most sophisticated option of Aerated Castings Tea – and some info on the Upgraded Aerators etc !

PRO Aerator Details (32mm Air Lift) :
The PRO Aerator Upgrade gives you a 32 mm air lift brewing system.
For large volume pumps, air stones are not suitable and you need a more sophisticated aeration system.
The 32 mm air lift is what pros around the world use for medium/large scale brewing.
The PRO Pump Kit and the PRO Aerator upgrade are suitable for brewing up to 200 litres of aerated castings tea which can be applied to up to 12 acres as a foliar application.
Some people will use this same pump and aerator for 800 litre batches in an IBC tank; but that application may benefit from a larger pump and enlarged air lift aerator. Please ask me for prices on building larger systems.

Advanced Aerator Details (15mm Bubble Pipe):
The Advanced Aerator Upgrade lets you replace the air stones supplied with the Advanced Pump Kit with an easy to clean and easy to maintain bubble pipe system.
Air stones need a lot of cleaning and eventually become blocked or break and need replacing.
This easy clean pipe system should last a long time.
The ADVANCED Pump Kit and the ADVANCED Aerator Upgrade can be used to brew up to 30 litres of aerated worm castings tea, which can be applied to up to 2 acres as a foliar feed.
