If the tea was produced by brewer taht kept the dissolved oxygen

All I was going to do was put an air stone and small aquarium pump into the water.
Eventually, when the are more affordable I'll get a brewer, but for now I want to
experiment with it.

One other question: If I use bat guano fresh out of the bat, will that be too
strong? Should I use finished compost to get the desired effect of disease control?

Use a pump large enough to drive 4 stones in a 5 gallon bucket. This
will take at least 36 hours to brew good tea. The other option is a
dual port pump with hoops made of 1/4" porous irrigation tubing. One
circle at the corner of the bucket and a smaller circle at the center.
Do NOT use and kind of uncomposted materials. I recommend good
vermicompost for more consistent batches. Email for more information
on nutrients.
