Alright, finally made a tea brewer (Microbulator). It's a little bigger than the traditional 5 gal/20 liter. This one has an overkill pond pump and kicks freakn a$$. The most important part is the tarp strap so it doesn't take off to China 🤣. I decided to go with the air lift design, that way I don't have to deal with small holes or air stones plugging as I'm not planning on using a bag to keep the compost or worm castings in it. Just throw all the shite in there and let er rip. It's made of 1 inch PVC pipe and fittings, 2 tees, 2 elbows, 3/4 inch hose barb adapter n' hose. I didn't glue the upright pipe so I can use different lengths for other sizes of containers I may use. The container is a Rubbermaid 121 liter/32 gallon. Let's oxygenate some shite! 😎

@lucas3330 it’s called an air lift, the air from the pump pushes water up the tube with air and pulls in more water in from the bottom. It’s just a zero moving parts stirring device and aerator.

Nice setup, is it loud to run? 

We cannot choose what we are, yet what are we but the sum of our choices...

A lot would depend on the air pump, this pump I am using is actually for a pond and it really kicks butt so it's loud. I up-scaled this to use a large garbage can, the original plans were for a 5 gallon pail and a smaller pump. I wanted something larger for our outdoor garden also, tomatoes, peppers, etc. 😎
