What kind of tea are you looking to make? What's the purpose of the tea?

Then I would compost the manure first. I would imagine that there is *some* population of bacteria present in fresh manure, but the composting process will multiply them exponentially and ensure that the benes out-compete the anaerobic variety when done properly. Pathogens need to be considered too when working with fresh manure. Probably a good idea to compost any manure due to that alone.

Hi NickNasty,
thanks, that is what I am doing. I am also told you can steam blanch for five minutes then freeze.

from what i understand it is.. i wouldnt see why not it did have lots fungi active going in it, would be good to help bring up fungal to bacteria ratio maybe, just a guess really.. only why to know is a micro scoop but i do know compost used to grow commercial mushrooms has to sit for 2 years before it can be sold depending on how the mushroom growers store the soil for the two years would determent if there was anything living in it..
i do know in flower your gonna want to run something with a good fungal to bacteria ratio 5/5 fungi help with the transfer of potassium and phosphates and most bacteria are nitrogen fixating
the tea i run should make a 5/3 bacteria to fungi ratio

DO NOT FOLIAR FEED AFTER WEEK 4 OF BLOOM
You can add a biological stimulator to any brew to give a jump start to the process. I LOVE OREGONISM XL by Root Organics. Follow directions on container.
FLUSHING DIRECTIONS: hahahahahahahahahahahah
Continue until the day you Harvest. Don't Panic, Its Organic!
Curing Directions:
Cut all leaves from buds, leaving only the flower.
Leave the buds on the branch.
Hang branches for 3-4 days on a line in a dark room at 70-75 degrees with average humidity (50-60rh)
Clip buds from branch and into cardboard box. Make sure they are one layer thin on the bottom of box not stacked. Leave them in the box, with the top on, for 3-4 days, giving them a good shake once a day.
Put buds in an air tight glass jar (Ikea) for 3-4 days. *** Very important to shake up and BURP(open top to release gasses) ONCE A DAY*****
After that it should be ready. If anyone tells you it will take less than 10 days to properly cure nugs, forget anything else they have ever told you.
The nugs should barely smell until you twist-break them open, then it should be DANK!
Other directions:
Brew in 5 gallon home depot bucket outside, for smell and overflow reasons. Use as many airstones as possible to bubble your brew. You can't add too much dissolved Oxygen. 18-24 hours later the Sweet molasses smell will turn to a rich earthy smell. IT IS DONE! Let sit for 20 minutes after you remove the airstones to allow sediment to settle to bottom. Pour 2.5 gallons into new bucket to 50/50 with fresh water for soil drench. Use tea with-in 6 hours of airstone removal at max. Right away is best. Rinse out bucket sludge into outside garden as soon as possible. If it dries i'll bet you a dollar you'll buy a new bucket.

hey guys I was wondering if anyone had any experience using goat manure. I have a neighbor who has some goats and offered me some for my vegetable garden but would like to use it in a compost tea for my real garden 
...problem is I have never used any other manure besides earth worm castings. any help is appreciated.

Personally I would compost it. Increase the microbial population, then use it in a brew to multiply and extract that population. That or add directly to the soil, but either way I'd run it through a compost first

I was hoping to feed some organic teas to my outdoor plants....Do the roots have to be moist first before I feed them the teas ?
I know using regular nutes I have to make sure the roots are....Wasn't sure about the roots though when using the teas....
thanks, SC

Ewc teas wont burn plants. Guano teas will, slightly if not diluted enough.
