Encouragement to organisms in charge of decomposition during the composting process and support for appropriate soil aeration, moisture and nutrient levels are reasons why water is important for compost. The term compost refers to the dark-colored, fresh-smelling, nutrient-rich organic matter which is the end-product of Mother Nature-moderated or human-intervened breakdowns of carbon- and nitrogen-rich recyclables. In that sense, it requires regular water infiltration and percolation just like any growing medium whereas in the term's mistaken use -- instead of composting, the process -- water is necessary for macro- and micro-organisms to break matter down into soluble nutrients, especially nitrogen.

Is a liter of compost the same as a liter of water?
No, compost is bulky and will have air-spaces. So less compost can be packed into the litre container. Water is a liquid and will fill the container completely, and will be heavier.
Where will heat of a compost bin go?
The heat stays mostly inside the compost, that's why it is important to turn the compost inside out regularly, so that every part of the compost gets sterilized from bad germs. In open air compost heaps, the heat will evaporate as vapor, especially visible in cold weather. That water loss needs to be compensated. There is probably not much residual heat at the surface of a compost bin. Heat usually goes up, but in that case, the heat is not in air or water, but in the mass of the compost itself, so it radiates in all directions. A small container such as a compost bin would see most of the heat exchanged from every side.

What should be the ratio of compost to water in brewing?

The compost will be strained for application as soil amendment, fertilizer or mulch while the watery residue will be diluted at the rate of 1 to 10 in unchlorinated water prefatory to pouring or spraying within four hours.
