I want to do this if I get enough hops this year (my plants are only a few inches tall so far). How do you go about figuring out how many hops to use? Do you just use them for late additions or do you just try to guesstimate amounts for bittering?david_42 said:Consider making a Fresh Hop ale, right off the bine.

Check these Cascades out, this is last years rhizome. I'm wondering how long before I can pick some..
YEAH BABY! Upskirt hops shots! Nice. Woo Hoo! Show us what you got darlings!!:fro:
...hhrmmpff... pardon me, I got overly excited.
Eh, I only got maybe 12inches of growth so far on my Cascade. Look out, I'm sure they'll catch up...eventually.
How big is yours(hops)?
you might want to use large planters so that you can extend the growing season indoors in the spring when the bines are shortFrosty Wort said:Newbie brewer and grower here: I planted a Cascade, a Chinook, and Fuggles rhizomes when the ground was finally warm enough about a month ago. But no activity at all. I got impatient and frustrated, and carefully dug them up today. No growth at all. In fact, ends of the Cascade are split and looks like it may be rotting already. Should I give it up on these three? Or put them back in and just wait for warmer weather?
Chimone said:Well ok, mine is just a baby compared to the rest of you guys, but still not too bad for a first year plant.
Fuggles at 7 weeks.
Your fuggles are doing great at 7 weeks, better than my Willamette at 7 wks(1st year). Checked the Willam's this morn and found something had munched on the leaves. I'm not using anything to keep bugs away. Suppose I should pick up some Sevin to help the little guys out, that or my brother tells me to spray a diluted solution of Murphys oil soap on leaves.
By the way Chimone, Thank you for the Blonde Bombshell Ale recipe. I served it at a graduation party and it was a big hit. I even got a couple of remarks that the beer "...did not taste like most homebrew that I have had before. This is much better! I think I'll have another. " Boy did that put a on my face. And it was only my 2nd or 3rd all-grain brew!

Yeah, same with me. None of my first years are that big (fuggle, kent golding, or sterling). Oh well, they're still growing!

the_Roqk said:What killed them? Lack of water, disease, too much fertilizer....
todd_k said:First the Japanese beetles got to them.... once they began to recover from that it got insanely hot here. I watered everyday it didn't rain but I guess it wasn't enough... plus I don't think my soil is very good. next year I'll have to put down some fertilizer/top soil... I did use miracle grow a few times but I guess that didn't help.
