one single drop of 70% isopropyl alcohol accidentally went into my 1 gallon of organic kelp meal tea. U think its still good or should i throw it out and start a new batch. Reason im asking is cuz it takes a while to make and i was gonna use it today.

I would say just use it. A Lil of that won't hurt it, although too much will prevent fungus and bacteria from proliferating;which impedes your objective. That being said, go ahead and brew it.

Whats wrong w kelp tea?
Why a Kelp tea?
Simply add kelp extract to your finished bio tea!
Jumfrey13 is talking about limiting or not using Kelp in making simple "Bio" teas as the kelp will reduce the effective production of living Bacteria by around 30+%!

I love kelp! I build it in my soils!
I don't brew it in teas.
If I feel I need some more Kelp. I add Age Old or Maxicrop at 5-10ml per gallon of tea as required.
Around 1oz. per 5 gallons is usual.

I thought kelp foliars were very beneficial? Unless youre saying soil drenches are MORE EFFECTIVE using the products you listed?
