vortex mike this is the best video youve ever posted, i can feel the confindence in your voice. hope your doing well bud, how many have you sold brotha
Hi Michael, awesome stuff and videos. whats the min energy consumption of the pumps to get the vortex going? and is there a min air to water vol ratio?
Really nice work man, fair price compared to others too. Where are you at? Man, you should take this to trade shows for cannabis, high times, and the emerald cup is all about organic outdoor and compost tea growers, i bet you could sell 3 or more easy at the emerald cup... you will sell the sh*t out of these if you can fill the ''budget'' price brewer in the market. Cannacon, maximum yield expo, man there's so many now on the entire west coast, you could make a killing just traveling down the coast to these shows in march/april alone.
Hey i dont understand how you are providing enough oxygen to the water, it looks like your using pressure to force water up the 3 return lines but i see no real oxygenation happening. Could you elaborate please? Great looking build man, well thought out and simple, beautiful.
refer to this video ua-cam.com/video/aWJgJobgUO8/v-deo.html @ 6:17. it shows the airlift through tubes. Keep in mind that the pump in the video in question is more than twice the size of the pump in the reference video.
I have a question on your design. Where are you getting the 4-way equal angle (120 degree) Y connector at the bottom of the tank, or, are you making that yourself by drilling, tapping, and gluing a Y and a separate piece of pipe?
Have you done any microscopy with your tea? My thinking is this design is fine for a bacterial tea, but that the turbulence will be damaging to any fungal organisms, breaking them up. But I certainly don't know.
what all of you seem to forget is the the sludge pump to pump this out. i want to let the compost roam free with no bag. then pump the sludge of kelp, etc out to my plants. for that kind of money, this seems important. And you dont even include a discharge pump of any kind. whats up with that.
Napoleon, any sludge in the tank should remain in the tank until it is fully broken down. The valve at the bottom is for draining or extracting. if extracted from the valve at the bottom, then the sludge should be filtered out and returned to the tank while the remaining compost tea should be used to water plants or supplement a grow system. When extracting tea from vortex brewers, turn off the air pump and let heavier solids settle, then use a small pump to extract tea from the top 1/3 - 1/2 of the tank. Sludge and heavier solids are not broken down enough to use. Since every grow operation is different, the method of extraction should be left to the end user to decide and implement how to best return the tea mixture to the garden.
Hi Mike, great looking brewer! Just wondering how this would compare with the Oregon State University's composting tea brewer. Why would yours be better, or are they two different brewers doing the same thing? extension.oregonstate.edu/lane/horticulture/documents/25gallonRubbermaidbrewerplans_2_.pdf
There are a few major differences between the vortex style and the one from Oregon state. Firstly the vortex brewers provide full aeration of the contents, while the Oregon brewer does not. It has an air manifold around the bottom flat part of the can and pushes air up. Much of the air doesn't come in contact with the compost. The compost is enveloped in a bag and cannot move around freely and breaks down at a much slower, uneven rate compared to vortex style. Next is circulation. The vortex style have complete circulation, moving heavier and lighter particles around the entire system. In the Oregon brewer, whatever heavier solids are in the solution will fall to the bottom of the tank and accumulate to anaerobic areas in the bottom of the can, and the compost held within the bag remain in the bag and cannot move around freely. Thirdly is cost. You can expect to build the Oregon brewer at minimal cost, while vortex brewers are exponentially more expensive to construct. In this case, the price directly reflects performance. Fourth is time. Vortex brewers will break down more material more efficiently per unit of volume than the Oregon, which is slower and breaks down the material at uneven rates.
damn buddy that's a high ticket for some fancy fittings, 55 gal drum vortex brewer's are about 600-700 bucks
+Jeff B
Competitor price for this unit is 1600 - 2200 bucks

Beautiful!
How is the compost incorporated? Do you need to extract the compost essence before the brewing?

Thank you derty,
We are located in North Carolina
real nice looking brewer man, I'm just up above on southwestern Virginia...what part of NC you at?
Fuquay Varina. Next to Raleigh
Hi, are you still making this brewer
Im on the market for a 100-150 gal brewer, also need a 35 gal...

That one was made, but you can purchase one online. even the online ones are made unconventionally. This piece is simply not made in a solid PVC piece
looks good man, what about scum build up? just run some cleaner through the system or do to need to like plunger clean out the pipes?
+Jack Downin
Just hose it down with a strong stream of water. the container is poly, so it is easy to clean. Only takes me 10 minutes.
+michael kindle
cool, really nice vision man. thanks for the speedy reply/advice
Eff yeah, Mike.

Hey mike!
where can i buy these? do you have a website?
greetings
i only sell them direct. The brewer is only made after payment is recieved

You can also just use a simple large paint strainer to filter out the stream for about an hour before use to get all your sludge and solids.
