Wow, that looks amazing! How much did it cost to make the trellising system that you have there? I am going to definitely do something similar.

Been fighting this all summer. Te leaves on my hops keep turning yellow and then dying! I'm not sure what's going on. I have fertilized with manure and I use miracle grow. The weird thing is that the top of the plant seems like its resistant and is starting to flower. Any help would be great. I...

Does anyone know how overwatering presents in hop plants?

I make a blackberry wheat every year, Blackberries grow like weeds around here in Washington so i take advantage of the local foliage and make a really decent blackberry wheat. I use seven pounds of berries per five and a half gallon batch, and i usually just toss the berries in at the end at...

I always just go until the berries start to turn white, never had any problems with that route.:mug:

Sounds good do you have a clone?

I have searched all over the internet and on this forum and i cant find but one coal porter recipe. So i am wondering if maybe some of you out there might have one that you have made that turned out pretty good? I am wanting to get one started to have for Christmas time. Any help would be...
