Could my home-made weed tea be evil?

For a few years now I've been putting fresh weeds and grass in old fruit juice and milk bottles, filling these to the brim with water and capping them tightly. I leave them for a couple of months so the weeds rot into the water, and then I dilute the very pungent tea in water and put it on the soil around my plants. Lately I've been reading about aerobic vs anaerobic micro-organisms, and now I'm worried I'm actually brewing some substance that's as lethal (e-coli?) as it smells. If I have to alienate the neighbours, I'd rather not do it by spreading plague.

Could anyone advise me on this?
