Re: Hop bulk order Mandarina Bavaria 2016 harvest

Recently been making my way through the German styles so this hop might be a good addition to the stoc...

Growing hops at home

Hi everyone, I'm entering my third year of growing hops at home and wondered if anyone had any wise words of wisdom to help me going forward. I've read the third year is where the plant will be fully​ established and begin to produce good quality cones with (hopefully) a higher yield. I thought my h...
