2021 Rhizomes

What is everyone planting this year?

 

[SMD]

Cascade, Cashmere, Crystal and Golding. Hopefully the grow as well as my tomatoes and cucumbers. It’ll be my first time growing hops.

Have you brewed with Cashmere before? I’m brewing a 2.5 gal cashmere smash in the next week or so. Curious your impressions.

If I like it, I may plant one this spring.

I have not, and this will be my first time growing hops. I’ve been a backyard gardner longer than I’ve been brewing so I figured I would try to diversify what I’m planting for some variety.

More like re-planting but - year two for Comet and Cascade! First few shoots are starting. Have 3 of each!

Cascade, Columbus, Centennial, Willamette and Perle. First time hops gardener long time produce gardener, cannot wait to see how they like my local climate.

I've done a 5gal Cashmere smash and liked it very much. Let it condition for a couple weeks and the hop flavor will smooth out. Good with a twist of lemon!

Just pre-ordered a couple Brewer's Gold rhizomes and plan on grabbing a rhizome cutting from a buddy's Cascade that he's had going for 5 years or so once it gets a bit warmer.

Not planting anything new but looking forward to giving my 6 Cascade plants a full year of growth this year. Last year I had to fix the drainage in my planter beds and didn't get the hops planted until early summer. Still got some growth but I think this year will be a good haul.

I'll be searching the northwest backwoods for the elusive Citra strain.

6 cascades?! Whew, that’s a lot of one variety. Do you own a microbrewery?

No, just a big fan of Cascade, haha. But I do work part time for a 3 BBL brewery so if it's too much, maybe I can pawn some off to them and convince me to let me brew something up with them.

 

[Kaz15]

Can’t argue with that! I love my cascade plant. If they produce well, you could easily end up with 12-18 lbs of cascade. You will certainly be able to hook up them up.

 

[Beerisgud]

Been curious about cashmere! May plant a couple next year. I just planted two apple tree and ordered 16 grapevines from double a vineyards. I think I’ve got my hands full this year

 

[FullThrottle64]

Second year for 25 Crystal and 21 Hallertau. Expanding each to a row of 30, then adding a row of 30 Cascade and 2 rows of 30 Mt Hood for a total 150 plants. I have some work ahead of me.

 

[Suburban Punk]

I had to transplant my 5 plants last year now that I have a dog. I think I lost my Cascade and comet, but see shoots for the cashmere, glacier and Tahoma coming up now. Will be getting a new Cascade and hopefully a Zeus.

 

[NitrogenWidget]

i have 3rd yr sorachi ace, fuggle, and cascade i hope will finally do something this yr.
last yr i had to move them in the spring so i got very little hops.
the first yr they struggled.

Rhizomes planted about a week ago, seem to be doing well!
