The family that I bought this home from left us a lot of trash, but also some inconvenient things to clean up that are not horrible. They left this big pile of slate and granite in the lower driveway and I haven’t had time to really clean up (and it’s been raining like crazy). So I had a decent...

Some progress being made on the water bottle clippings. This one right here, was a clipping from the chinook above I did last summer. This was a left over pot, that I thought I had given away. To put in perspective how resilient hops are, this one sprouted with zero sunlight, was sitting in...

Dug up my Chinook from my camp today to relocate it! Didn’t even come close to finding all the roots... stoked to find a spot for this guy.

Looking good! Where are you? In Maine and my chinook is about the same.

Oh yeah it really is as simple as just snipping off some early shoots and plopping it in a water bottle. A about 2-3 weeks later you have plenty enough roots to throw them in some miracle grow in a small pot. The roots typically totally engulf my 1 gal pots within the summer if I don’t ground...

Never heard of Cashmere, where are you getting them from? Little update, getting a little strength here. Snipped off some clippings on the stronger ones with multiple shoots to get some others rooting. Beauty of hops is how astonishingly easy it is to clone them!

I always get those two dates backwards until I look at a calendar.

Received the package from Great Lakes Hops a couple days ago. So far nothing but good things to say about the delivery, little bit weak from the trip but they all appear strong enough to survive in the long run. Willamette, Willow Creak and Magnum appear the strongest of the delivery and the...

I do plan on building a vertical 20ft pole style trellis in the back of the yard for some hops that I want to harvest specifically for brewing, I’m transplanting my monster 5 year old chinook in a few weeks (some snow has melted since these pics). Should I run some up the back of the garage? Not...

Haha, yes! I do plan to brew a lot, that stated I am not sure how much my wife is going to make me design this with a more ornamental setup or not. I anticipate giving out a ton of hops though, no doubt. Trying to find a way I can make it look decent in the back yard while keeping some semblance...

Hello everyone. I’m moving to a much larger plot of property and plan to build a nice trellis system for the new hops will them growing for years to come. Currently where I am now, I have a well producing 4th year Chinook that I’m going to transplant and take some clippings from. Plan is to use...

Thanks guys! No one in particular is making me worry about it specifically, I guess I’m more or less just a little insecure as parent - not really knowing what’s appropriate I guess and making it up/deciding what is along the way. I enjoy homebrewing, and am really looking forward to getting...

Hello everyone. I’m from Maine and began homebrewing about 8 years ago and went strong for about 3 years. Got a decent setup, equipment, etc. However, started nursing school, had a kid, got married and got out of the game. Currently moving into a much, much larger home and have the garage space...
