After seeing the several people already harvesting their hops this year, I figured it was time to begin the collective HBT harvest for Summer and Fall of 2017. The previous years had great responses, and I would expect nothing less this year If you have had an early Harvest, log your total...

Has anyone tried Denali Hops yet? Here's the description from Morebeer. https://www.morebeer.com/products/denali-experimental-06277-pellet-hops.html It sounds super interesting. I'd like to know if anyone has had the opportunity to use it in a beer yet. What are the results?

After seeing the several people already harvesting their hops this year, I figured it was time to restart the collective HBT harvest. If you have had an early Harvest, log your total here. Judging by the 2015 Hop Garden thread, we have some early entries. 😆 Measure your Dry Yield in...

This Lil guy was found hanging out on my Chinook. Just chillin. Not munching, not crawling, just literally hanging out under the leaf. Question is this; should the Lil guy continue freeloading on the bottom of my leaves, or should I send him on his way?

I need a good source of roping for my setup. I'll be using about 200' of rope and I used tomato jute (a derp moment on my part) which decomposed and broke significantly at the end of July and August. I was worried I was going to lose some harvest and waited out as long as I could. I was...

We had a party at the house this weekend during a very hot Saturday. My beer fridge was open more than it was shut, raising the internal temp of everything inside. My yeast had been sitting towards the back and I have not had to worry about these jars for some time. My Brother-in-law announced...

'Tis the season for drying hops, and last year I used the front door screen and some window screens. Keep in mind that last year, end of summer temperatures were hot and sticky. This year, they are not and have been enjoying the windows open this year. Using this as my reasoning to build yet...

Ok, so just a few guy parts... Just found out I have a Chinook that's a Hermie. Mainly seeing one little part, the rest are crazy looking cones. Do I have anything to worry about? I have Zeus cascade and nugget. Im not going to end up with a chinugget? Cascanook? Chizeus?

After seeing the several people already harvesting their hops this year, I figured we should keep track of the collective HBT harvest. Measure your Dry Yield in oz and add it to the running total. All hop varieties are accepted, just name the variety in your post. Round to the nearest tenth...

I was gifted a Sunbeam plant from a friend last year. Summer came and went, and I was able to get some 8oz. Of dry yield off of it. After checking many different posts that mention Sunbeam, Golden and Aureus hops, I was having trouble getting an idea of what it could be used in, aside from a...

Not sure if this is a problem or not. I have my first year Chinook plant who is acting strangely. She is growing fast. As I was training a bine today, I noticed some yellow on the leaves and nodes. I also saw some on the bines. I rubbed some off to find out it was lupulin. I have no cones yet...

I have 360 bottles in 30 twelve pack cases. None are de labeled, but all are clean. I just got into kegging, and don't need my stockpile anymore. I'm near Joliet/plainfield. Most are 12 oz long neck crown tops, 2 or 3 are cases of stubbies. Some are assorted specialty bottles. PM if...

I have four plants, Nugget (3rd year), Zeus (1st year), Cascade (1st year), and Chinook (1st year). All 1stvyear plants are crowns from GLH. Nugget is gangbusters, so no problem there. There's 30 plus shoots flying out of the ground, and I'll be trimming her back to the top 6-8 in a day or...

Last year, my HOA poo pooed on my hop plants, citing that in had a structure that exceeds the HOA requirement. So in problem solving my dilemma of a bine plant that can grow 30+feet, and an HOA that doesn't want structures visible from the street, I went to the HBT forums for advice. I found...

Ok HBT, I need a little advice/help. The tips on 3 of my 4 plants all have been cut. What little beastie is doing this! I haven't had this problem before and I'm a little annoyed. I know that these will eventually be fine, but the smaller plants are 1st year and I'm trying to establish them...
