    ABOUT ME

  • Partner in Gorst Valley Hops. I'm the design engineer. Can't tell you much about growing, but I can answer anything from harvest to brew kettle.
  • Growing hops,drinking beer and curling. Not always in that order,though.
  • Engineer
  • Daniel Dettmers
  • Madison Curling Club
  • I suck at homebrewing. My main problems are:rnrn1.) I drink too much during brewing to follow the recipe.rnrn2.) I don't spend enough time cleaning. rnrnI got into home brewing when living in the dorms. Our Housefellow (RA) strictly adhered to the rule that we couldn't BRING beer into the dorms. But he didn't consider brewing it within the building to be a violation of the rules.

    There are a couple of guys on here who are not big fans of this structure due to its cost but
    the design will be extremely beneficial come harvest time. ...the lumber, bolts, screws were
    $1737.00.I wi...

    I'm intrigued but I'm not sure which "beer lamps" you guys are talking about. Could someone

    Slow down, Blue man. First, if these are 1st year, let it all grow. If they are 2nd or
    thereafter, train 3-5 and trim the rest.Let them get some height before you trim the bottom 2
    feet, unless you ar...

    You can but be aware that it won't be Mt. Hood you are growing. Since you don't know what the
    father was, you'll never know. Of course, it may be something awesome so go for it.

    OK, so if the pinning is kept out of the soil, you just end up with a horizontally growing
    plant.Now the question becomes, does just one sidearm try to become the new dominate growing
    tip or does one ...

    uh...interesting. When I search on "Low Stress Training", all the images that come up are of

    If you put more than one rhizome of the same variety in a pot, its the same as putting in a
    single rhizome. They will grow into 1 giant co-mingled crown that you will never separate. The
    only advantag...
