6 Gallon Air-lifted Garden Tea Brewer

The biggest bucket-base we build: a 6-gallon air-lift vortex brewer for gardens that drink.

How it works

A bucket base with a 3-, 5-, or 6-gallon carboy fitted on top. The air pump keeps the water moving all brew long: the 70 LPM pump works, the 110 LPM moves it faster, and if you already own a proper pump you can skip that line item, since half the cost is in the pump. When the brew is done, turn it off and tap from the spout in the front.

Some teas like to brew for 24 hours; some only take a few minutes. The choice is yours in your gardening program.

What's in the box

Every brewer leaves the farm with basic instructions, a cleaning brush, hosing, a tea bag, and 2 lb each of our Veg and Bloom teas, so your first brew starts the day the box arrives. Shipping is priced at checkout from live UPS and USPS rates.

Which size?

3 to 6 gallons (air-lift) covers home gardens and serious container programs. 10 to 60 gallons (barrel) is market-garden and small-farm scale. For local farmers we also build 275-gallon tote brewers: ask.
