I'm curious once you have the hops do you plan on drying them yourself? How do you plan on selling them, is there a distributor you can sell to that sells them to the end user or will you do that?
I planted two of each variety so the two on the left are Cascades then Chinook, Zeus, Magnum and finally Centennial. When I purchased the rhizomes the Cascade root was double in thickness when compared to all the others, that is why I think they are doing so well.
I can't say if yours are typical or not since this is the first year I've tried to grow hops but here's a pic of mine for comparison. I planted them April 29th the pic was taken June 1st and I live in Northern Virginia. I may just be lucky I'm not sure because I have a friend that lives close...

I'm a huge fan of that Ranger IPA and a bigger fan of 60 Minute when on draft (we take a yearly summer trip to Rehoboth, DE) beach and brew, can it get any better. I am drinking probably the same clone right now if you bought it from Annapolis Home Brew.
If you haven't made...
Hello All:
I'm new to HBT but have been brewing all grain brews for a little over a year now. I usually brew with my buddy who worked at O'fallon Brewery in MO (we are both in N. VA now) so I've learned a lot from him. I generally stick to brewing a hoppy IPA but I hope to experiment a bit...
