We had been brewing compost tea in 5 gallon buckets and it was a bit of a chore. We set up a 55 gallon plastic drum at the top of the garden for brewing bigger batches of compost tea. We found a
youtube video that showed us basically all we needed to know,
here. We adjusted the design slightly to make it fit a 55 gallon drum. Also, the plans for the original Oregon State University compost tea brewer can be found
here.

The top is just covered with window screen and bungee chord….super simple. |

The air pump is permanently mounted under the chicken coop roof for weather protection. |
