I'm not really planning to do anything more this year than just grow the hops and see if I can find a "local" microbrewery interested in buying some/all of my harvest.

I'm sure there will be something like a beer making kit on my Christmas list, but that's about all. This is a long term project, and where I would like it to go first is the plantation route, not the brewing route.

I have read at a hops prime, 5+" per day is not that rare, and some claim they have recorded 9" in a day.

You are right Ellen, I should be able to sit there, have a beer, and watch the silly thing grow.
havign a beer and watching hops grow...



And isn't it ironic...don't you think
A little too ironic...and, yeah, I really do think..

The man sounds like a neat freak. He'd probably boot us out if we looked like we were passing out
