Does anyone grow their own hops?
I have been looking at the prices of hops per ounce and the price of a half dozen hop rhizomes and i dont see why this isnt a more popular activity. Maybe the climates just aren't right, or maybe im thinking its easier than it is. But a plant that grows 20-25 ft per season and gives off MORE than enough fruit to brew over 5 batches seems like the economical (and fresher) way to go.
I was thinking of growing a hallertaur, willamette, and 2 others and was looking for suggestions.
If anyone has a warning against it for some reason i have not discovered yet, please let me know. And if anyone knows where i can get my hands on some seeds/rhizomes before next february, let me know.
