Did some looking around in the forum for an answer on this but didn't find what I was hoping for. Here's my question: I have several large corny kegs (5Gal) all filled but I'm supposed to head to a party for my wife's co-workers this weekend. She would like me to bring some of my homebrew...

They look great! I really like your set up. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I'm fertilizing with something called "CitrusGain". Like what you mentioned, it is also low phosphorus Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I am noticing that the height of each plant is inversely proportional to the amount of shoots. For example the tallest one here, the third from the right, is a cascade with a single shoot. The two on the left each have three shoots. I decided not to cut them to see what happens. Sent from my...

Thankfully, mine are established enough to resist the extra rain. They look like they are still doing well. Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

It's been 22 days since planting. So far, so good. I've been watering them almost every day, however, because since these are not in pots the soil dries out very quickly. Everything I've read online says don't overwater, but I'm assuming that that is advice for more northern areas. Our soil...

They look great. Keep us updated I'll do the same. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

It's interesting because the other three plants only have one shoot sprouted on each. They are obviously growing faster. I will trim the other soon but I'm almost tempted to let it go just to see what happens. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Here's a little update on the progress of my hops plants. All four look pretty healthy, three of them of have climbed onto the twine. However one of the plants has four shoots growing instead of one. From what I've read I think I'm supposed to trim this back so one can grow more than the others...

Photo update. I added the twine for the nines to climb. They are spiraling on their own. Here's a cascade bine. Here's the way I implement,enter the climbing twine. One horizontal line across the four plants with four vertical lines working toward the top of a 12' pole. Sent from my...

I had this EXACT issue. Make sure the caps you ordered are for beer and not just crafts, etc. turns out I ordered different colors (same reason as you) and they leaked, didn't carb, and eventually the whole batch was ruined. I only use caps from brew shops now and just write on them with...

Hops update: added some CitrusGain fertilizer today and also some pine straw for weed control etc. all four bines are now out and I will need to run my twine for them to crawl on tomorrow. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

All 4 shoots are up. Only 1 week after planting. Here is one of the centennials. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew
