How long does compost extract take to brew?
The brewing time on an Actively Aerated Compost Extract (AACE) is mainly temperature dependent. The cooler the outside air temperature, the slower the biological activity. This results in a longer brewing time because it takes longer for the full microbial bloom to occur. If outside air temperature is near 50 degrees, brewing takes 72 hours. If outside air temp is near 60 degrees, brewing takes 48 hours. If outside air temperature 70 degrees or above, brewing takes 18-24 hours. Brewing time will vary with different extract recipes, our recipes have all been tested on our brewers, with consistent results.
