Damn, I had no idea May 7th was national homebrew day. I was planning on doing an all grain Amber or St. Arnold's Christmas Ale clone on Sat.....will brewing the day after cut it?

Alright, I just got my six in the mail this afternoon from Freshops and they are in the ground! 2 Cascade, 2 Perle, 2 Nugget and I couldn't resist....I got online and bought 4 more...Crystal.

Roaring, I'm in exactly the same boat as you, mostly. I live in Houston and have intended to plant hops for a few years now. Trouble is that we have an annual Kentucky Derby Party, which is always the first Sat. in May and I end up working my butt off to prepare for that every year for...
