It is about that time to start ordering Rhizomes from what I hear/see. I am in SE Michigan and want to start out with some Cascades and Hallertau as those fit my styles best. Does anyone in the area grow any of these varieties?
On a side note, does anyone know of a local supplier of these? From what I have read, it is better to buy these locally to increase the first year harvest?
Sorry for all the questions but I am new at this and appreciate any help. Thanks!
Ive been saying this on other posts... But you can't go wrong with great lakes hops. The crowns look like 5-6 thick rhizomes combined... Trust me theyre bigger than your hand is! I'm going to order another 50 crowns from them hopefully this coming spring!
For best pricing check out our Facebook page If you're local enough, drop on by - I have some stock that is too big to ship! (unless you're a millionaire) If not, you can pre-order and put in the date you want them shipped . . .
If rhizomes are your thing - I recommend Freshops or Northwest - good suppliers.
^ This is why I will buy the remainder of my hops from them. Keep it in MI.
Looks like you'll have to do a road trip up to Zeeland. There are some Good brewery's along the way. You'll have a good time checking out GLH operations.
Since I am stocking up for our co-op, I'll be making a road trip to Great Lakes Hops on March 2-3. March 3rd I'll be at the Michigan Hops Growers and Microbrewer's Symposium in Hickory Corners MI. You may wish to attend as well, it's open to the public but you must RSVP ASAP. On this road trip I plan on picking up 100 or more crowns and some bails of rice hulls they have a good deal on which I will make available to people in SE MI. If anyone would like to put their order in ahead of time please pm me or contact me on facebook.com/AgingHopster. Otherwise see me when I get back, I'll have some crowns for sale. Does anyone have any particular variety they would like to see available in SE MI? Let me know ASAP. Also, I'm picking up a grain order on this road trip, get in touch with me and let me know what you need by around Feb 20-25 if you'd like to get in on co-op prices. You are invited to attend our meeting Feb 11th (see facebook for more info).
Cheers!
