Billy, that raises another question -- we're just now getting down to
the upper 30's at night. Will cold temperatures affect the brewing?

Yeah, optimum temps for yeast are around 95 F. I'm guessing that the
same would be true for the other micro-organisms. Tad is right about the
alcohol but I have a hard time believing that you could be anaerobic
with an air pump, except at the center of your cheesecloth. You could
add the material back to your compost as the anaerobic organisms won't
survive the aeration. But you avoid all problems, if you just chuck it.

Try same approach again for a week. Pour bucket to bucket (as needed),
for additional aeration, if you detect off odors. Filter through a nylon
stocking, cheesecloth, or towels (cotton or paper), if you are planning
on spraying it as a foliar application.

What the hell you going to use it on at this time of the year? Using a
greenhouse?
