Just got to Oki a few months ago and brewed my first island batch last week. Pitched a packet of Wyeast that I was pretty sure was dead (forgot to get a backup pack of dry yeast). Took about a week, but it's chugging along.
Hopefully everything was sanitary...
Here's my two first years...
Cascade and Zeus
Growing horizontal ain't so bad.
There a lot of little red baddies crawling around the cascade bucket, though I haven't seen any on the plant itself. Based on a google image search they look like spider mites, but I haven't seen any spider...
