Yeah just broad range nutes will do. Old leaves can get yellow thats fine, as long its putting out new growth. Theres better efficiency with newer leaves anyway and the plant relocates the mobile nutrients to new growth before dropping off the old leaf. My centennial now has lots of new growth...

Nutrients are pretty easy most of the time. Daiso has several types of nutrients you can use. My homestead hops have some flowers starting to form and are steadily climbing through my cherry tomato "tree". The tomato plant is 2.5 meters tall and still climbing, I have it tied to a kind of a...

I just cut all the leaves off my Centennial. Infested with spider mites and no new growth for weeks. About 3 weeks ago I did this to my Magnum and it has completely rebounded with more leaves than before and pest-free(ish)

Beats me on the CC but my go to place is DC Hamamatsucho, and recently Goodbeer Faucets.

It was a good time Blue-Frog! We ended up having 15 people altogether, including a few surprises. 2 Japanese ladies who brew came down from Tokyo, one of them was the very first home-brewer I met in Japan so it was really good to catch up a bit. Looking forward to doing it again sometime...

Im heading down to the homebrew meetup a little early and will be at Nawlins around 1pm.

So I am planning to start this meetup around 2 pm so there is plenty of time to drink and get back home and for those who work the next day they'd have time to recover. I will bring my Jays Peach Ghost Chili English Ale for any who care to partake. Cheers! B

I agree with BF on the "mummies". If the rhizomes are not clearly rotten/decayed, then there is a good chance they could just be dormant. Stress seems to be the cause of a lot of that. My own hops are suddenly putting out new growth, though they had lost 50% or more of their leaf area to...

OK, did a count of other sources and looks like Sunday the 22nd is the winner with 5 votes. Looking forward to it! I will post details in a short message when I have things sorted out. Cheers! B

Just my 2 cents. The main plants the cuttings are from are doing poorly this year, stalled at 8-10 feet high and the magnum took a lot of abuse from leaf eating insects. If I recall last year they stalled at this time and then took off again later in the season, but it bothers me since some...

Just letting you guys know I will count up votes and decide a date tonight. I decided to skip this weekend to give enough heads up for everyone, so if you voted for the 15th you can either change your vote or I will transfer that vote to the next sunday. I have a 4-way tie at the moment, so if...

Guys, I am starting to plan a homebrew meetup in Yokosuka. The place has more than a dozen taps of Japanese craft beer available and the BBQ is really good and there is a ton of space for the meetup. I am thinking of the 14th, 15th, 17th, 21st, or 22nd. Preferences? Opinions? Location would...

If you mean dry hops for brewing then I wouldn't worry - many people do it and have not been troubled. Of course it looks like you are smuggling a pound of pot to them if they check so if you want to consider the hassle that might cause you, it might not be worth it. Live plants you should...

Heads up I sent off the last batch of hops cuttings yesterday. Guzzi, Blue, and Yuki, they are all chukurabai so heads up. Guzzi it was about 1030 yen, the others were both 610 yen. Unfortunately the centennial didn't have much left of the thick rhizomes so one of these packs got thin...

Fencdar I think we talked at the hanami about barrels? I have a little rum barrel that might hold 3/4 liters but it is dried and needs to be rinsed out and reconditioned. Someone, maybe you - suggested throwing wine in it for a while. I will probably do that, buy table wine and fill it up and...

Sounds good guys, looks like I can start prepping them and send them out my next day off. Cheers! B BTW did that group order go through? Just curious.

I never learned any database software before and am not really sure what I am doing. So far I have a list of all the breweries in Japan in open office :base", and columns for various things like date sampled, date brewed, reviewer name, IBU, blahblahblah. I put it together in open office calc...

Just a bump, I still have one of each that are unspoken for. I haven't sent anything out yet and probably wont until early next week now.

Well its finally that time of year! I will take a maximum of 3 cuttings of my Magnum and Centennial for members of this group this year. I think I stunted them last year and got very little yield. Please PM me a new request if you would like one. Please include the address to ship to in the...

Guys, I am posting an event/meetup into the Japan group on here. If you haven't joined the group you can do so at https://www.homebrewtalk.com/groups/japan/ . More details there but I really encourage you to check it out :D Cheers, B
