Rhizome Purchase

I've made my first Rhizome purchase. With advice from Doug, I decided to make my purchase through Northern Brewer. We have decided to go with Cascade Hops. 6 rhizomes will be on their way to Connecticut when the rhizomes are harvested by Northern Brewer's vendor (estimated for mid-April).

Until planting time, I plan on posting all the "dirty work" which is fundamental to the growing of hops.......just as soon as the ground thaws!

"As a wise man once said, give a man some hops, he'll brew for a day. Give a man a hop rhizome, he'll brew for lifetime!"

Hops Shortage

After some urging from Famed Beer Lawyer and Home Brewmaster Doug, I have decided to address the Hops Shortage first-hand.

This blog will document the process, from soil preparation through (hopefully) harvest of these wonderful little morsels of happiness...

Hopefully all will go well in my quest to become a Hops Farmer.
