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?

Wow, two weeks brewing???? You ran out of food for the organisms a
long time ago. Dump it out. Clean up and start over again. Try it
first with just a teaspoon of molassas and 24 hours.....
