It’s my first batch of compost tea. I’ve been brewing aerated compost tea for 10 days (2.5 cups of organic worm castings from Root Organics, 4 gallons of distilled water, 1/3 cup of unsulfured molasses and a large 4” diameter air stone with 4w pump). I brewed it a long time because I read it was supposed to smell “earthy” but it just kept smelling sweet. Over the last two days it’s developed a yeasty, fermented smell... much like a brewery. I know some like that smell but not me... So I’d say it stinks but only like a brewery. Should I throw it out or is it good to use? It went from having a light foam on top to a type of fluffy sludge floating on the top. I read that brewing it this long can make it more fungal than bacterial and if it’s fungal it’s better on trees and shrubs than veggies. Thoughts on this?
