What to do with hop rhizomes and cuttings now? Should they go in to the ground or wait in a fridge for 4th month?

thank you guys!

In ground,and i would say relatively normal.Summers are hot and without rain,though its possible to rain. What do you mean by weekly long soak.They soak it for whole week and then let it be for some time or?

With how much water,and on what basis i need to water hops now. Is .5L ok every second day .

Thanks for reply,yes you are correct about 240V service in Europe. Controller is Ranco ETC-111000-000 Digital Temperature Controller and yes its from US. I am(was) Electricity illiterate,untill i was about to wire ranco,i wired it as on data sheet ,and went through couple walkthroughs on...

I tried to wire my ranco,once i plug it in wall outlet nothing hapen.There is no electricity on extension cord out of the ranco. I wire it pretty much acording the chart that came with it. What am i doing wrong?

Yeah,ill go 2l 2 times :)

Thanks for info Matt, I was thinking of doing it 2-way,though i red somewhere that if yeast is healthy enough(hence its propagator 16bil. cells) it will be ok to think large(4l) Anyway,ill go with 2L -two step

I`ve bouhgt some wyeast propagator smackpacks(bavarian lager),now i will be using them for a first time. I know i need to make a starter,but in whitch way? Do i need to start with less wort(cca.500ml),and once fermented pour it to a bigger starter(4l for lager), or i can just pitch it in 4l of...

Kind of late to hit on a topic now,but anyway. I brewed stout,fermentor used was in use before to brew 6 batches with no smell of plastic(styrofoamish smell kind of). Yeast used s-04,.So my guess its cuz of chlorine,maybe steriliser traces .

Ok,to sum it up., conclusion is that it will work on 240v,am i right?

Its not prewired,so if i bout to wire i,i can use plug with 2 twoish thingies(2-pins i guess) insted of US 3 pin plug?

On side with a risk,will it work once installed:) Thnx for helpin

So i can use it then without fear of short circuiting device or elec. line ,or geting electrocuted lol Yes wall outllets are 220v

I need temp.control so bad,im lookin to buy johnson controls as stated above,but can i wire(install )it regarding im in Europe 220V ?
