Do you then water with this from the bottom? How often? Or, do you spritz
it on the plants from a spray bottle?

Damping off is a fungal disease caused by damp conditions, and
exacerbated by the lack of air movement.
You'll know it if the seedlings suddenly keel over and look brown and
pinched at the soil line.
To make the tea, I just use a tea bag (one bag per 8 oz. cup). I pour
boiling water over the bag, then let it steep 5 min. After steeping,
mix 50/50 w/ water, and you have "half strength".
