Hello, We have planted 150 plants this year. Very fortunate in that we know a guy who knows a guy...... We got all of our telephone phones for free. We also...
This is going to sound like a silly question but what are you going to do with all of those hops? Naturally you can't use that much hops if you're a home...
Bob, I've been having the same thought. I have about 3.5 acres and am tired of mowing. Heres what I have turned up in my research so far. Commercial farms...
Chris (and anyone else experiencing the joys of spider mites), I have had the pleasure of battling these pests on hops for the past 5 years or so. I have...
Reed, I read we have a lot in common. I can't answer number one, and two. As for number three... I'm thinking a visit to Home Depot or Lowes in the...
... As for number three... I'm thinking a visit to Home Depot or Lowes in the pickup truck and hold up a couple of fingers for the number of people I need,...
Not 100%, but I think you will find most HB supply stores would want AA testing. You might think about packaging them up for on-line (ebay) sales. As fo rteh...
Thanks for the great info Joshi! I'll have to look into some of those miticides. Last night I came home and did see a few here and there, but not nearly as...
Up here in rural Idaho, many Grocery Stores have a Farmers Market Area where they sell local produce. Wonder if a Brewers Supply store would be open to...
Is it possible to harvest too late? My cascades have been coming along nicely, but some of the cones are still developing so I want to just wait until they're...
... Shouldn't be a problem if you're paying attention. If you're going on holidays for 2 weeks, you may come back to brown hops, which of course means you've...
I had the same concern as I had several fully mature hops on some vines of my Cascades, yet other vines from the same plant still have burrs forming. I...
How would I go about AA testing? I have not been able to find much information on it. We only have 14 plants as of now as an experiment, but I am in the middle...
Rumor has it, Hops Union will do the testing for you. Karl From: Grow-Hops@yahoogroups.com [mailto:Grow-Hops@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Joseph Petrucci ...
... I may be doing the same soon. My Cascades are starting to brown on the edges, but they are not yet "papery" feeling. Soon, though, they will be. I also...
... I planted some ornamental Sun Beam hops for my wife on our 2-story Deck. I never really considered what to do with the hops, cuz I was told that they...
Make sure you have the Lupulin yellow Dust in your cones prior to harvest, or your beer will lack the hop flavor and bitterness. I actually uses some of my...
Hey everyone. I have 2nd year Fuggles, and 1st year Cascades. The Fuggles are kinda small compared to my Cascades which are getting huge. I actually didn't...
I don't have a recipe, but they are supposedly Saaz-like in character. _____ From: Grow-Hops@yahoogroups.com [mailto:Grow-Hops@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of...
Your Cascades should be skinny compared to the fat fuggles. I think Cascades mature before the fuggles, So just wait a couple more weeks. Fuggles have big...
Hi all, I'm just joining this group today. I'm pretty excited about my first crop of hops. I planted a few rhizomes 3 years ago and harvested a good batch of...
My pole solution that worked very well this year is this: I use two ten foot t-posts-- the steel fence posts that are driven into the ground and used to mount...
It can happen. I wouldn't worry if your plant has female cones also. You can trim if your worried they will waste energy on male flowers. If its showing all...
Sounds very similiar to my setup, except I use a wooden 10 4by4 post on the bottom and my my steel pipe slides up and down the side of the wooden post. I use a...
Do you have any pictures of this setup? Thanks! ... From: Charley <charley@...> To: Grow-Hops@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, August 4, 2008 2:35:45 AM ...
