I am fairly new to home brewing and am interested in growing some of my own hops next year. I have access to land as well as a greenhouse. With the humid climate here, which approach would you recommend? Thanks!
I would just grow them outside. Most varieties will do fine here. Mine took off like crazy down here in Spring Hill. Of course I then killed the bines by accident.
Oter, what varieties are you growing? It seems to me like certain varieties do better than others. I use a lot of the four C's but would definitely like Fuggles, Saaz and others commonly used.
I have Nugget, Willamette, Fuggle, and Zeus. However, I cannot attest to their growth as I killed them about 2 months into the season. I didn't mix the soil correctly and they got saturated and then I tried to rectifiy it and got into the roots and they just stunted.
