I always grow some on my windmill each year--~a dozen vines that climb twine up to the first scaffold, maybe 12 ft. Pick them in the fall when they turn brown and have lots of nice sticky orange resin in the cones. I sell the cones to beer brewers at my local farmers market, $5/oz. Know what variety of rhizomes you have, because that translates to “alpha” and “beta” values that the brewers will want to know. Rebecca Kneen has written a nice manual on small scale-hops growing that you can download for free at http://www.crannogales.com/HopsManual.pdf. ==Dave Campbell / Tiffin IA / Zone 5b From: market-farming-bounces AT lists.ibiblio.org [mailto:market-farming-bounces AT lists.ibiblio.org] On Behalf Of Heather Grant Is anyone on this list experienced with growing Hops? My husband and I are planting 50 new rhizomes this Spring- this is a new venture for us. Just wondering if anyone has dabbled in this area- tips, advice, etc...? |
