2013 hops harvest

[ChefRex]

Might as will add my one ounce of Williamette.
747.17+1=748.17

 

[ChrisfromAbby]

Just packaged 8.2 oz of Fuggles but used the dry equivalent of 2.2 oz of wet in a batch of ordinary bitter. So 10.4oz, running total = 758.57oz

 

[Davidsons]

I harvested my first year hops last week and got 3 1/3 oz of Chinook and almost 2 oz of cascade after drying. But it looks like my cascade has new blossoms so I might get another oz or two.

 

[Stevo2569]

Just harvested 40 ounces of wet Cascade.

Started drying today

Maybe I'm wrong but its hard for me to see how you got 40 ozs from those 2 little bines. Maybe you meant 4?

 

[Toga]

Still have yet to harvest mine but did harvest another guys hops that no longer brews for my personal consumption with his permission of course. Ended up with 30 oz of northern brewer dried and packaged and have a bunch more drying as I type. 758.52+30=788.57

 

[dhutchings]

Harvested the first production from my single bine, 8.9 oz wet that went into an APA that's just about ready to bottle.

So 1/5 of that would be an additional 1.78oz dried

788.57+1.78=790.35

 

[walte1fr]

First year of harvesting cascade, centennial, and columbus hops. I'll let you know a weight when they get done drying. Does everyone just vacuum seal and throw them in the freezer?

Yep. Nice hall.

 

[Toga]

Just packaged 17.40 ounces of an unknown hop. They smell great. The smell is similar to Hallertau. 790.35 + 17.40 = 807.75 ounces.

 

[walte1fr]

Yeah it was 5 plants. Next year should be a few more

Can we break 1000 oz?

 

[Toga]

867.85 + 5.25oz cascade = 873.10

 

[beowulf]

873.10 + 18oz cascade + 11oz centennial = 902.1

If Yooper had joined the party we'd be there...

Cheers!

 

[Stevo2569]

What's F Ed up is I probably have half this total 500 ozs(32 lbs) in my freezer right now. Not all home grown.

 

[hot427cobra]

Well we just bagged up our hop harvest. A total of 76 Oz dried hops. 44 Oz of Cascades and 32 Oz Hallertauer. 4 Oz short of 5lbs. Great year.

Mark


902.1 + 76 = 978.1

 

[walte1fr]

Cobra. How many plants do you have?

 

[day_trippr]

Harvested my Chinook last Thursday, cut all the bearing arms and leaders off and hauled it all down to my shop and stripped cones while watching a ball game. Filled up the oast and let it run 'til this afternoon. Quick weight check and it was time to vac bag.

All up there was 40 ounces dry weight on the nose.

978.1 + 40 = 1018.1 ounces for the group...

Cheers!

Cobra. How many plants do you have?

I have about 4 cascade plants that are very mature. This year I transplanted about 4 or 5 plants around the corner of the house to expand production. Then a beer club member told me he was moving out of state so I dug up his plants. Got about 8 Hallertauer plants started. Not bad production for first year after being relocated. Here are some pictures. The ones to far right are the old cascades and to the left are the new Hallertauer.

 

[hot427cobra]

Hallertauer to the left half and Cascade to the right half.

Freezer full of new 2013 crop and pellets from previous purchase. What a sight to behold!!!!

 

[mthompson]

Packaged up the last of mine last week.

25.6 oz. Cascade.


1066.29oz

 

[jfrank85]

About 1 gallons worth of centennial / chinook whole cones from the latest harvest. The smell is phenomenal. Should be a tasty IPA.

[semi-related side note ]

So I realized the hop storage situation had reached a critical level with the 2013 harvest yielding almost 7 pounds of dry cones when I went to pull some out of the freezer on one of my beer fridges and a wall of hops greeted me. I've used up all the 2012 Cascade and Centennial but still have at least a pound of 2012 Chinook left in there to go with the new stuff. The door is loaded with store-bought pellets, all strains that I don't or can't grow. All told there's at least 15 pounds of hops in that freezer.

Minus a half pound - after today.

My grandsons gifted the wife and I with a mild cold and we were both feeling like crap, but I can't let a whole Saturday go by laying about, so I decided to buck up and do a couple of brews in the shop. Whipped out a batch of an English ale using store-boughts, then pulled out a bunch of home growns and knocked out one of the house IPAs.

Still feeling like crap, but there's another 10 gallons of beer in the pipeline! :rockin:

Cheers!

 

[kingogames]

We've had a busy summer. I've got a big bunch of hops out there. How do I know if it's too late to harvest them?

 

[day_trippr]

Grab a couple of representative cones, smush them between your hands, and give the result a sniff. If it smells good, pick 'em, but if it smells like cheese, they're mulch...

Cheers!
