when I brew a full tea ( nutrients such as kelp meal, alphalpha, etc) and Im adding microbes in the form of worm castings and/or steer manure I start out with the nutes like kelp etc and bubble for 24 hours with a tablespoon of molasses per 5 gal pail. Then 24 hours later I add the microbe sources and bubble for another 24. The raw nutes need about 48 hours but microbes will explode in aereated water so after 24 hours they start to starve as the molasses is gone. Too much molasses and they develop a like for sugar and not fungus so dont use extra molasses. If your just adding microbes but no nutes just bubble molasses for 20 minutes or so then add worm castings and bubble for 24. If you purchased a premade tea follow it exactly and make srperate teas of microbes only. You cant over tea really
