Thanks. Kinda disappointed, as I was hoping is Centennial.....

Hi, I have a hop that I grow in the backyard, got it from a friend that was not sure what variety is, but is either Centennial or Mt Hood. I have some pics now with the cones I picked recently. I was wondering if anybody can figure out based on how they look which one it is? They are definitely...

You can find good beer in Romania. I liked Bergenbier the most. Ciuc and Stejar were good also. Ursus, average for my taste. Ursus black, good. The Romanian beer is mostly based on German recipes. The quality depends on the water they brew with, in a certain area. In central and northern...

It looked that this WC will be a south american affair. Not anymore, even though Uruguay might bring the surprise.

Maradona was one of the greatest players of all times. But he's a below-average coach. Argentina reached this stage of the competition due to individual players. Argentina deserves better. They have great players. They don't have a team. Maradona ran out of luck.... Germany plays great. The...

I followed Bobby's project to build a somple trellis. I did the sleeves in the ground thing, since I had some leftover pipes from a light fixture. I put 2 poles in the ground (10 feet high), and extended the top part a bit (wood). So far so good. I hope the wind wont blow too hard this summer....

One of my hops was eaten by snails. That might be the case with yours. There are a few options to keep them away. I used eggshells and coffee grounds and my hop took off. Now it's about 2 feet. Check early in the morning your plant for snails. During the day you will hardly see them, unless it...

I have 2 that I planted at the end of March, and they have not showed up yet. Maybe this makes you feel better...

I have 2 hops that I planted last year, Cascade and Zeus. Was very happy with their yield last year, about 6oz from Cascade, 2 oz from Zeus. This year, Zeus started to sprout around end of February. Cascade showed up around mid March. Zeus got to about 1 foot towards the end of March. I clipped...

I planted my hop rhizomes horizontally last year (Cascades and Zeus), and they did great. Planted 2 more (Magnum and Chinook) two weeks ago, still horizontally. Not out yet though, rain and chilly in PNW for the last weeks for most of the time.

Hello, I started last year planting hops in my small backyard, and I had success with Zeus and Cascade. I got about 2 oz out of Zeus and about 6 oz of Cascade. I was really happy with the yield and could have done better with a trellis setup. I just bottled a batch I brewed with 1 oz Zeus/1...

Anybody knows what influences the alpha acid of a certain hop plant? I have a Cascade hop that I planted, and it seems like it has a range of 5-7 AA. I heard the horse radish's strongness is affected by how dry the soil is. Does this apply to the hops, too?

It doesn't look too red, but it is.
