I don't know of any north of Tampa but there are three in the Tampa Bay Area. They're all probably 2hrs away from you though. One in Tampa, Southern Brewing, one in Brandon, Booths Brewing, and one in Pinellis Park but I don't know it's name. I know the Villages has a pretty active brew club...

I know a lot of people on HBT have said they use Orange Guard. My plan is to try and mix sprays with a couple Marigolds planted around them as decoys for the bugs. I know you will only have so much luck with both of them but the fight must go on.

Caramel Amber Ale, also my first all grain and first not kit. 4422.5 + 5g = 4427.5

I think Spring Hill and Land O Lakes are probably pretty similar. I would consider both to be outskirts. I'm about 30mi outside of Tampa and Spring Hill is a little further, maybe 15-20 miles further north.

Any advice for us first year growers? I'm always looking for any seasoned advice which will make my work a little easier/smarter.

Wow that's crazy, I'm just 20 mins south of you and it's still 50s around here. That's a crazy temp difference for such a small distance.

The tractor supply off 54 has been the cheapest I've seen in the north Tampa area.

I had to add a last minute stake to the centennial this morning. As I was leaving for work I noticed it had grown so much it was actually falling over the side of the pot. It's only been in the ground for two weeks and already a bine that's needs twine. My permanent place for them isn't ready...

The plan is definitely to use them in my beer.

Now we just need wood blocks shaped like Legos and even the electric set ups will be an easy creation, haha

I'll have to do the same mine are coming in very similar. How many did you end up keeping when yours were coming in?

What types did you order?

I have a thread I started about growing hops in florida. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f92/florida-hops-experiment-385584/ There is also a well travelled thread about growing in Key West. The answer is definitely yes, but some do grow better than others. The common answer is any that start...

Now with the thread started I just need to convince the wife to let me get a couple turtles so I can produce nuclear turtle water so my experiment isn't a failure, lol.

I did see the south FL thread, I also the north FL thread, the barely used what's good to grow in FL thread and one started by me earlier can I buy locally in FL thread. The problem is we are such a huge state that it's easy to see Key West and think, it doesn't pertain to us so we all start...

I started this thread so we don't hijack the key west thread with the all florida talk. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f92/florida-hops-experiment-385584/

Almost two weeks in the ground and the Centennial has already produced a bine that I’m going to need to start wrapping around something soon. The other two (Galena and Willamette) are growing and showing life but have not produced a whole lot yet, it’s still very early. I am still...

After a few days in the ground, I am already seeing growth from all three plants, through the Centennial is doing the best. The temperature has been floating around 70s midday and 50s in the evening with a few days of extremes on both sides. The side of my house I’m keeping the plants...

I wanted to start this thread to help consolidate all the experiences of everyone trying to grow hops in Florida. Several of us on HBT have had success and failures with nearly every type of hop out there. We can use this thread to provide tips, tricks and of course our experience to break the...

I realized that would happen after I had planted them. I think horizontally they will be fine but vertically I'm a little worried. I read on one of the forums to drill large holes at the bottom to help give the roots somewhere to go versus clogging all the smaller holes and creating a drainage...
