New to Growing

Post by Laurel » Tue Mar 19, 2013 8:06 pm

Hi,

I'm looking to start a few different varieties of plants this spring to supply some friends with fresh hops for home brewing.

Pretty new to this so any tips would be much appreciated!

Cheers :spilly:

"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.
