I tried my hand at brewing some compost tea, but I think my pump was
too weak. The tea smells terrible. It's been "brewing" for about two
weeks now. I just added a new pump, but I'm wondering whether I
should just start from scratch or whether there's hope for this
batch? Might the beneficial microbes have already died by now?

Aerobic compost tea should not brew more than 36 hours and should be
used no longer than a day after it is brewed.

Two weeks is indeed to long.
I forgot about a batch for just a week and it like to knocked me down when I
remembered to check it.
Toss it somewhere you don't have to smell it
