Not sure how you guys were going to make this, but all I did was put some compost inside an old pillow case and set it in water inside a 5 gal bucket. It would save you from having to strain through a cheesecloth as in the article above. After the tea was done, I just dumped the contents of the pillowcase (at this point a black sludge) back into my compost pile.

Something to make sure to remember, to get the maximum benefits from your tea you should add a catalyst of some sort. Unsulphured molasses works and it's cheap too, you want something like this:
Or you can go with an actual catalyst like this one:

If you really want to get crazy with it, you can even add this product, which I have both used and fully endorse:

lol just saw this thread now. it's pretty simple really, only decision is do i want nitrogen or not so separate barrels are required.
"non" nitrogen barrel (75l) gets roughly 20l fresh seaweed, 20l of home made compost plus 20l of rabbit poop (yes it has nitrogen but only enough to balance it out, not enough to encourage lots of new growth)all put into a few layers of cloth, tied up and dropped into the barrel for at least one week, then i use it as a foliar spray several times each week around sunset as well as for regular watering.
the nitrogen barrel is based on the same concept but elephant poop is substituted for the rabbit poop and the water that fills up this barrel is half water and half pee. this one is more for treating the soil around seeds/seedlings and my ground here is warm year round so i have 2-3 day germination for basically everything.
you have to keep lids on these barrels and it's pretty much all due to the seaweed which heats up the compost and provides literally every trace mineral on earth to the plants. not much too it really but since you probably can't find elephant poop where you are then you can substitute cow or chicken poop if you have to. there is no better garden manure then elephant though.
