Here is a couple pics I took of them last week. I started with full crowns I ordered from Great Lakes Hops (I got my Avatar pic from their webstie). I think the full crown instead of starting with Rhyzomes really helped with first year results. Thanks for the input! anyone brew with homegrown...

I am getting excited to have my first harvest of homegrown hops! looking like I will have at least a couple pounds of Cloumbus hops, and probably a half pound of Glacier hops. I am wondering what to expect from brewing with my own hops. Will I be let down? Totally stoked? I'd like to hear some...

looking good

Also first year Columbus... They go from tiny burs to cones pretty quick!

He/She will definitely be harvesting them before everybody else is into it...

Cones are growing fast!

Getting excited....

Also really love seeing this. I am piecing together my own 'Brutus style single tier setup.' Now all I need is to weld the stand, and that looks exactly like what I want to build. How hard was it learning to weld? Got Plans??

Im currently using 3 keggles. I only put a sight glass on the Liqour Tank and the Boil Kettle thinking there was no need on on my mash tun, and that grains may get in there. Any thoughts? or reasons why I should pop one on there? Cheers! :rockin:

Whip it!

1st year Columbus Hops from Great Lakes are doing great & starting to produce cones!

1 of 3 Glaciers made it to the top of my trellis. the other 2 stopped short.

Columbus is doing a bit better than the Glaciers, but they are all shooting out sidearms. Pretty happy for year 1!

Heading to Wal-Mart today to check out the RV hoses... I have been using a wagon to cart my keggles back and forth from the garage to the house. Its getting old.

Brewing an IPA on Saturday. 11 Gallon batch using mostly Cascade for bittering, with Simcoe and Amarillo for Flavor/Aroma. Looking to start at about 1.070. Booyah!

5 Viking crowns were planted yesterday, along with 6 Horizon, and 6 Willamette. I will be sure to post feedback.

I brewed this last December. I plan on poppin' bottles during this year's Holiday season. What is the best way to succesfully bottle this? I have made a "Bier Muncher Bottle Filler" would kegging, carbonating, and BM Bottlefilling be a good route? This sits way to long to end up flat. -Thanks!

+1 EVERY sandwich should have raw onions. Absolutely. Bacon too.

how about now?

Well I've decided to order these without any feedback. I will post my thoughts on them once I've grown, Harvested, Dried, and brewed with them. you can expect my feedback in November 2014. HA!
