You could probably get it lab tested if it was that important to you, however probably not worth the money. And will probably vary per plant and per year. Just stick with the average of the specific variety of your hop...

I did a test with my mash tun today using only water to see how well it would retain heat. I had heating issues using it for my first all grain batch. Temps dropped too low. I did a test with a little over 3 gallons. My "strike" temp was 170F. I did not preheat the Lowes circular style...

haha. well in that case...put it in the trash.

It's a boy! My centennial baby in a whiskey barrel broke ground today. First time growing hops. Quite exciting.

Yes. Good advice. The casters I used are rated at 125lb each. I made sure to get decent ones. They do sell cheap ones so make sure to buy the proper rating and to use washers with your bolts. This thing is heavy when everything adds up.

My first year and attempt at growing.
