I was searching the net the other day for compost brewers, and found a company in the U.S. that talks about a Vortex Compost Brewer.
Ended up finding a video, you can see it here.
Anyway, I looked at it, and thought that can't be hard. So I bought a 44 gallon plastic barrel for $20, a 45W air pump for $53 and then got the associated pvc pipes and fittings to make the thing.
I'm just on holidays at the moment in another state, but when I get home I'll be able to take it for a test run and take a video of it all. It's such a simple design, and really just uses the concept of air lift pumps with 4 outlets facing the same direction to create a vortex motion.
Hopefully my compost teas are better now they should get a lot more oxygen during the brew process.
