When brewing compost tea I like my ingredients free flowing and in intimate 
contact with the water as much as possible.  Putting the material in a 
stocking or a sack or tea bag is setting up an environment for anaerobic 
organisms.  What one needs to due is strike a balance with the quantity of 
material that you inoculate the brew with.  I like about twenty pounds of 
material per five hundred gallons.  Remember that this tea business is a 
continuous inoculation project so the numbers of organisms should be high but 
not incredibly huge.  If the populations get too high you are in danger of 
going past the prime of the brew.  You must also consider the volume of air 
you have to circulate the water...SStorch, Natural Science Organics & Sophia
