my wife wants one... I think i have talked her into getting horses. no more projects...

that spay nozzle is bank! sell me on it. haha i want that spring looking sprayer so i can let go and not have it fall in the way. that cleaning process sounds really good. i might have to try that. As of now i have a big tub that i dump my grain and hops into. i plan to compost soon so i will...

I read this one once.... on this website. on this thread. Definitely a old Chinese proverb

hops look great.

where are you located?

tell me about it, having everything in once place make a huge difference. If anything it allows you to brew and come back to it little by little without the wife saying something. that's crazy about the housing market. everyone wants out of big cities or looking for new work. plus all the...

your centennial plant looks just like mine. super aggressive plant. i believe its my Tahoma plant has side arms that grow just as fast as the main bines its a mess to keep in order.

Hydro seed goes down next week. Then it's time to service my tractor. Added some other pictures of what I am working with currently. Pictures are old. I really think you are on a better track than I was. My new focus is easier faster brew so I can focus on recipe and brewing more. My hood vent...

I really need to update this as my system has completely changed. the Mop sink is awful. its nice for Moping the room or cleaning some things. i plan on adding a sink soon. trying to finish up a few projects right now. i am building a ferm chamber/ work bench.

I should have taken a picture today. I try to move fast in the greenhouse as it's not the most enjoyable place to be. Reminds me of being in FL.

i did lots of trimming today. its like the hops can think and start to reach for the nearest thing to climb i had one bine reach 3 feet to the step ladder until i cut em in half.

great idea! thinking next year i will make in ground planter boxes for each hop and trim back the root rizome. if i do that i might take this idea and see how the hops do out in the open again. If i could get a decent system down i would like to fresh hops for local homebrewers just for fun.

that's a shame, i let my hops what look like die last year. left them out in the open no water or in the snow all winter. they loved the abuse i guess.

Its the reason i brew. Its heavily taxed and most of the politicians are part of the church. super rotten for a cult to run the government and make laws yet benefit directly from it. i am starting to rant back on topic lol. Just happy it force me to brew.

ah that makes a lot of sense. yeah i would love to do something similar. I have emailed some farms in hopes of getting something that i could grow for fun and share with my friends. It will never happen. The state i live in is not the best for growing hops. we are also 65% Mormon population. So...

this is from last week i think, i need to take some better pictures. i have so much going on. trying to finish my front yard sprinkler system so i can move on with my life.. then i am going to brew a ton of beer.

i would send you a rhizome if it wasn't growing season! isn't south Africa starting to get into the hop business i forget.

to the question 4-6 bines per plant. after the first few feet pick the best ones. at the same time i like to trim the leaves off the first few inches of the bines then as the bines grow i will take up to 2 feet of all lower leaves etc off to keep pest and dieses away. this is after the first...

haha this is so ghetto i love it. planted a huge spruce last year. had some good rain and strong wind. i am talking 50+ started to push it over. ratchet strap and a long piece of rebar pulled that tree right up. ratchet straps are like zip ties for big issues.

2 things i didn't cold crash and i didn't wait much time after moving it to a keg. the clarity now is good. i had to pour off as much as you would any other batch. i would say the only thing that really stands out is how much yeast is left at the bottom even after a transfer to a clean keg...
