I'm in Sacramento, and they're in the second year. I think I might not let them come back next year though, I had a bad spider mite infestation that showed itself the day after I put them in the dryer. Plus every time I brew with them the hop character just doesn't seem right.

So what you're saying is Spider Mite IPA?

Not sure if it'll be visible in this picture but they're all over my dried hops too, lots of little webs also.

I found these all over my hop dryer the day after putting my hops in to dry. Are they spider mites, or what are they?

Thanks!

I just picked my cascade, some of the hops went entirely brown and I trashed them, here's a picture of the ones I harvested, did I let them go to long or will they be good? When torn apart all the lupilin it's still there.

I've posted about this plant a couple times and still couldn't figure out what happened to it, so I dug it up today and it has root rot. I cut all the infected parts off the roots and replanted them, here are the pictures. Does anyone think these Rhizomes will send up shoots or die? It just...

That's what I'm leaning towards, plus I could easily buy a replacement cascade plant from the nursery right down the street which happens to be selling them, although I'm skeptical of their source.

I posted a while ago about one of my cascades not growing when the one 3 feet from it is going crazy, since then there hasn't been any growth, there was 2 shoots that grew a couple inches and then stopped, I'm suspecting some sort of root rot, because I had the same symptoms on a different plant...

Good idea, this thing is mounted on there solid, but it wouldn't be much work to attach some brackets to the sides since it's already threaded.

Here it is with the stand, I might put sides on it eventually and maybe some wheels, but it's operational at the least. There's no wobble at all do I don't think I'll have any problem with wearing out the shimms in the mill. The most important part is to use good precision measurements to line...

I realized after posting this that the plywood is slightly curved, so once I have the frame built I'll probably have to readjust the shimms, but that shouldn't be a problem.

Just another bracket I put on there for stability, I'm not sure if it makes a difference but I had something laying around that fit.

I put another piece of plywood under the mill since the drill sits higher and shimmed the drill with some fender washers to make up the height difference. There's a slight wobble but I'm sure it'll be stabilized once I build and attach the frame to the bottom, if not it'll easily be reshimmed...

I've seen that one, haven't used it, but I was meant an app that I can download to my phone or computer instead of using my web browser.

Is there an app for calculating water chemistry which works like the popular spreadsheets? I use Beersmith and it only calculates water adjustments for a particular water profile, and the spreadsheets are annoying to me. If not, is there a reason these spreadsheets can't be converted to an app?

I actually planned that because I read that clover naturally adds nitrogen to the soil, but now I can't get it to die because I have to keep watering my hops. I'm counting on the summer heat killing them since I'll be watering my hops less this year, because they're well established.

That makes sense, thanks!

I have 6 different hop varieties, 2 plants of each, and this one cascade is taking off like crazy, but the other cascade just 3 feet away from it doesn't have any shoots bigger than 1 inch, I've even cut this one plant back once already. What would make this one grow so much more vigorously...

That's pretty cool man, I can just imagine that on an awesome roll around stand, and built in burners, you can have pumps mounted inside it. have you found any downsides to using a box like this?
