Hi,
So, having happily brewed and bottled my first two batches of beer (with a third on the way), I am now bursting with newbie eagerness to make this as DIY a hobby as possible, and seeing as gardening season is upon us, I am looking into growing my own hops. The closest supplier to me is Richter's, and rather than the usual rhizomes, they sell small hops plants. My question is, when should I put them in the ground, and is there anything I need to know or do to them before proceeding?
Also, my options are Cascade, Hallertauer, Mt Hood, Nugget and Williamette. I'm looking to get three varieties. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
