I look for the non-gmo logo especially on Kashi cereals.
The ones that are listed for a soil's health is what I would look for. I'm especially found of chitinase.
Those are awesome! I grew out some royal purple snap beans this year. I'm such a noob bean grower. I was totally disappointed when they turned green upon cooking! lol!

I've been trying to use enzyme tea as of late because of the malted barley grain teas.

hahaha, yeah, you got my joke... So have we all concluded which seeds are the best to use? I've only used the sunflower seeds, and I was getting ready to get some more seeds, but was thinking maybe a smaller seed would be better? more sprouts= more enzymes? or would a larger seed have more enzymes, and that's not even opening the can of worms as to which enzymes are present in which seeds...Lol, tomato, tomoto...

Grease, I've been trying to track down that information. I haven't had a lot of luck other then the studies done on malted grains. Thank goodness for the beer industry!
I do tend to use a little more sunflower seeds, and a few less barley and wheat seeds, but I don't know if I can really see a specific difference? The one seed I am careful with is alfalfa as it tends to have a more pronounced response.
Is it bong thirty yet?

You can expiriment but nothing compares to malted barley.
I find using malted barley is the best thing to use. You can get it at the brew store very cheap, I get mine for 1$ a pound. Some of the important enzymes found in it are Amylase, Arylsulphatase, B-glucosidase, cellulase, chitinase, dehydrogenase,phosphatase, protease, and urease.
Being as smart as you are, I'm sure you can figure a good amount of these enzymes roles and how important they are for soil health right off the top of your head... Malted barley is so much easier than seed sprout teas as you literally grind it up and brew it or top dress if you'd like. No 3 day sprout session.. And it was sprouted to get the perfect enzyme levels, probably not going to be comparable without 10,000$ worth of equipment to sprout with tbh..
Fungi, bacteria, and worms LOVE this stuff. It's super sustainable and an amazing 'bloom booster'

I like your method. What are the measurements for boiling. I'd be adding it to the vortex btw.You can expiriment but nothing compares to malted barley.

1 cup malted barley to 5 gallons of water. I don't brew over 4 hours, acetic acid won't make those fungi and bacteria too happy.

you know i'd love to, but honestly my expertise is in different areas, if we can find @Pattahabi, he's probably the guy that knows the most on the subject.
I've only done maybe, hmm, six or maybe seven ssts.. actually i think its six, I think, it was a lot of effort, I have been doing the "lazy" route, which is the pure coconut water, that's essentially the same, if I understand it correctly.
My areas lie more in the water-only, leaf-compost based mix recipes.
I think I have Pats email address somewhere, let me see if I can get him out of his pot-infested bear-cave

Are those purple ones rattlesnake beans.
I got some off my step mom that brought some from China. The beans grow like a foot long and get purple and speckled.

OK.
The ones I call rattlesnake are a green bean. The bean is like the size of a thumbnail and the pods a foot long.
