We have some golden hops growing, if you'd like a start; although, I don't know if it is the same as the regular hops.Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13160202493785166930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1947997585334958395.post-46656970138406785662011-03-05T18:57:29.991-05:002011-03-05T18:57:29.991-05:00Yeah, those Mr. Beer kits get old quickly! We'...Yeah, those Mr. Beer kits get old quickly! We've been brewing awhile and there's nothing like the real fermentation and brewing equipment! We grow Cascade hops as those are the ones most frequently used in our IPA's, check the growing requirements for what's good in your area, but most should do well there. Freshops is a great place to source rhizomes and they have oodles of info on the website. Hubby built a kegerator last year out of a stainless dorm fridge and it's empty (yikes!) now so he'll be brewing 2 more batches this week :) Let us know how your batch turns out, it sounds good!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916896512933101955noreply@blogger.com
