Compost tea is made using *unheated* water, according to all the
instructions I've seen. It may get warm sitting in the sun, but nowhere
near enough to kill any pathogens.

Well, around here you don't want to hold the bottle for any
length of time after it's been in full sun all day.

are just about all gone. -- Uncle Dave Macon, musician
