I chanced upon this site today... I didn't even know there was a Compost Tea Organization. They have a good article on compost tea.

Compost Tea info
now I have seen just about everything
Sounds about right. I´ve been using this "compost tea" concept in a private experience since some years ago, in which I was accumulating water in a container, were I threw fallen leaves, bits of dead plants and flowers, fiber, some minerals, to make a "super water" that I was going to use on my plants... it ended up being my "water garden" on the picture below.
Seing as my water hyacint is going so well, I guess the "tea" works.
I keep two 30 gal garbage cans for compost tea and manure tea. The tea bags are plastic woven feed sacks that get filled about 1/4 full of the dry material, then tied shut with twine. I just drop them into the can and fill it with water. A few days later I mix this brownish elixir with water at about 1 to 3 or 1 to 4 strength and pour it around my plants. Makes 'em grow! Maybe the bubbly type is better but this is easy, it works and I can strain it through a paint sprayer bag and use it in a spray bottle if I want to foliar feed. Besides, I don't have electricity anywhere near the vegie garden to run any type of bubbler for the brew and I don't want to carry it that far.
