Here are my 2nd year bines in Arizona. We're probably a lot farther along at this point than most of the country. Cascade on the left and Magnum on the right. Flowers to appease the SWMBO in the middle. Yielded a few dry ounces of Cascade in year one. Hoping for more out of both this year.

I started growing some Cascade and Magnum this year in Tucson. I just have a small patio, so I put up about a 6 foot tall piece of lattice against a brick wall. Growth started really slowly for the first few months, but I installed drip irrigation in June and since then the Cascade have...

Wanted to give a shout out to these guys. It's a new brewery in Tucson that is making awesome beer. We have had a few breweries in this town, but we've been sorely lacking a good microbrewery. They released an IPA and a Session Ale a couple months ago and they are both fantastic. Went a...

Congrats man! Looks really nice. I come here just to look at these builds and dream of when I can do this myself.

I've thought about the Rubbermaid tub idea and it's a good suggestion. The quote above shows that you get me, though. The wife doesn't get it, but this DIY forum does.

Awesome. I'm an Aggie, so you are basically living my dream of getting to return to College Station, get a little land, and build a brew barn. What do you do in CS?

Here's mine. I made it from a 3' piece of Red Oak. Didn't treat it with anything. Cost me about $5 at Lowe's. I don't own any fancy woodworking jigsaws or anything. Just a circular saw, orbital sander, and 1" drill bit.

Between your use of "howdy" and "y'all," I'm guessing you aren't originally from New York. I'm a transplanted Texan in Arizona and I stand out like a sort thumb for using words like those.

Wow. Those cases are beautiful guys. Impressive. I've made some wooden cases but they are more for functionality than aesthetics. Frankly, they are ugly, but they definitely get the job done. I have no woodworking skills or storage space. All I had was some plywood from a friend, a power...
