Re: Soil Foodweb Questions?

Regarding the backyard scale, aquarium bubbler compost brewer,
what is the current research regarding how that compost tea compares to 
commercially brewed tea?
We have heard that commercial brewers must take care to sterilize the walls 
and surfaces between batches. Why is that? Why do the surfaces serve as 
inoculation sites for "bad" organisms? What are the problems with 
surface-dwelling organisms?
