Worm Shit Tea Question

This is my first attempt at worm tea and I'm not sure where my issue is. I used tap water and threw a stone filter in it and let it aerate for an hour. After that I used roughly a cup of worm casting per gallon (did three gallons) I have it in the filter bag that was recommended to me at the hydroponic store and also added the recommended amount of micro nutrients and un-sulphered molasses. It's not bubbling up like it says it should after two days. Is it still good to use or did all the micros die? Any have a helpful link or advice that would be awesome.

Everytime I make worm casting tea I have an air stone to provide aeration. Do you not?
What do you mean it hasnt bubbled up?

Yeah there's an air stone, from what I was told is that when the good microrgorganisms have formed there is this foaming or bubbling that occurs above the initial water

Its a myth. Foam doesn't mean there are more microbes in compost tea. As long as it doesn't smell like sewage, it should be ok.

I am it's pretty fucking fun composting, I just bought this worm farm at the hydroponic store to make my own casting. Fun for the kids also.
