Hi everyone.
I got recommended this forum by someone on twitter when I asked how to grow hops!
Apparently a few of you guys have the know-how.
I've been brewing about 5 years but only seriously for the past 3 really. I've usually got a hoppy pale ale on tap but like to play around with other styles too.
I have a weissen on tap at the moment and a Brooklyn lager clone and Bad Santa Xmas beer conditioning.
My other main passion is pit BBQ.
Two damn good hobbies if you ask me.
Cheers
Jon
Hello... And how do you grow hops?
Re: Hello... And how do you grow hops?
Welcome to the forum, as I understand it hops are pretty easy, dig a hole bury them and use some twine for them to grow up. I have a first gold bine which I planned late spring, it didn't this year but grew well.

Re: Hello... And how do you grow hops?
Hops are easy to grow but normally take a year or two to get established. Ask around on the forum there are usually free rhizomes at the right time.of the year.
60 percent of the time it works every time.

A decent load of manure in with the rhizome will give them a decent start in life
