Rutter, M. (n.d.). 25-gallon compost tea brewer plansCorvallis, OR: Oregon State University.

This manual describes the construction of a 25-gallon compost tea brewer in technical detail. While not a scholarly source, it will prove useful in the actual construction of the compost tea I will be analysis on a qualitative scale for strength and potential for clubroot eradication. I have hopes to scale this up to a 55 gallon food grade drum, but we shall see if this works!

Plant Abundance (2016). Brewing & broadcasting a large batch of homemade compost tea! [Video file].

The two videos above provide a detailed application of the OSU manual on compost tea brewer creation. I especially like his use of the cast iron pump to broadcast the compost tea throughout his garden. This would come in handy if hooking up to an irrigation system, which might be a plan of TJ’s.
