I’ve been wanting to do this for a while now and finally am getting around to it.
Thanks to donated land from Jim, I have a place to grow some Hops.
I decided on planting two varieties. Willamette and Cascade.
Willamette is pretty common in homebrew recipes so it’ll be great to have an abundant supply.
Cascade is used a lot in really hoppy beers like IPAs. I enjoy IPAs and wish to brew a few of my own, so this was a natural choice.
I’ll have the rhizomes by the end of the week and will hopefully have the ground prepared for planting soon.
Once I’m pretty confident the threat of frost is over I’ll get them planted and hopefully have a decent crop by the end of the summer.
I’ll try to document my progress as much as possible with pictures and stories on here. If you’re interested and I don’t post, bug me.
