Cheers Tony, I think being outside helped a lot with the lighting, in the garage everything looks a weird hue from the light reflecting off the driveway, and yep the phone has a better camera then my cam does by a mile! Cheers mate

Mate that video quality was fantastic!!

Awesome i found a hop plant a couple years ago and found put the entire area was used for hop growing over 100 years ago! Been keeping my eye on that hop cause i didnt want to just dig out a now naturally occuring plant but it hot so big im gonna take some cuttings,thanks!!

Its a different flavour but a good flavour, actually prefer pellets lol I guess you'd call it 'green' Cheers Chris!

thanks for the vid- when i was cutting back my own plant growing on a veranda in central tokyo, I didnt intend to propagate the plant but for some reason i cut off about 4 inches and stuck it in a pot, curious to see how long it survived, and it is now thriving. Repeated several times to give plants to friends.

Thanks for uploading mate.

they look bloody good mate. Cheers Tim

Great video Gash. I hop grower in Ontario posted last fall they were cloning hops. I was planning on do that this spring with a few of the new shoots when mine come up. I use my hops, although for bittering its a gamble, but mine have turned out great. Cheers!

Gosh been meaning to get a hops plant , ebay has some for those that want to know. usualy buy the hops for my brews but i think its time to grow my own . cheers drink your beers . thumbs up liked and subscribed, very good video to by the way.

good work with the vids champ keep it up and help out us newbies :)

Always wanted to grow some hops. Now to find a plant!

I'll give it a go ...cheers mate

Great Video mate, i've got cascade and Chinook on the go at the moment, first time so looking forward to the result. They've started properly climbing now, the growth is crazy! Bit worried about the excess trub of whole hops but reckon its worth a go.

They grow like mad when happy, easy 6 inches a day sometimes! They soak up a lot of wort, good to put them in a big grain bag so you can pull em out and squeeze it at the end if you feel the need. Cheers mate!

great to see some aussie grown backyard hops. just picked half my cascades & used in a no chill brew. can't wait cheers gash.

Most awesome - video quality excellent. I always learn something from your channel. It is rhizome time here in the US, I thought about starting some hops but decided I was not prepared this year...maybe next year. Do you think it might be successful planting and producing hops in a greenhouse/hothouse? I wonder if you might simulate 2 seasons' growth in 1 year in a hothouse? And as always - thanks for sharing your techniques and tricks - it is much appreciated!

I don't think they would, they aren't really humid type plants and they need that cold spell over winter to die off so they grow healthy each year. Thanks for watching mate!

hopefully do this with mine next year

Nice update gash will give this a go

Top stuff! Nothing like home grown freshness! What happens in the picking and storing process before boiling or dry hoping in the FV? Do you just cut them up and store in glad bags? Thanks Gash!

@HomeBrewNetwork

You just pick them when they are ready and you can dry them on fly screens or in a dehydrator, or use them immediately. Once dried yep just vacuum pack and freeze or fridge! Cheers!

Gash, you da man! i always thought i had to be in Tassie to grow these, but am just about to go to Bunnings and try my luck. here in Newy, we get pretty cold winters (i think your on the CC yeah?) love the vids mate. keep up the good work. cheers

I live in melbourne now mate, but I think you should give it a go to grow one in newcastle, you'd get at least one year out of it, if the winter is cold enough you might get more. I dont think you'll find them in bunnings now though they have all died off now, maybe in spring. Cheers mate! I might dig mine up soon and see if I can divide it. Cheers mate!

nice - your cascade is looking way better than mine. however, it has been attacked by catapillars and then got scorched in summer. taking a cutting or two would be a cool idea. Cheers!

Nice video Gash, I'm new to brewing, like when I say new I mean I just bottled my first brew, I used 1 can of Thomas Cooper Brew A IPA, 1kg of beer belly light dry malt and 5 days on I dry hopped with 100 grams of galaxy, I love hoppy beers and love my coopers session, does Bunnings still sell hop plants? Would buy a s**t load as I have a pretty sizeable back yard. Cheers for the great content mate and cheers 👍

They do, but often hard to find, go and talk to some one in the nursery that has some pull or does the ordering and ask, other wise I'm not sure I can send stuff like that across the border, but there are places you can buy the rhizomes, even check ebay, though be careful, check reviews etc

Where can we gate Hope plants

Hey Gash do think there is any chance hops would grow in Brisbane or is the climalte not suitable? Cheers mate.

Really depends on where in brissy you are and the spot you have for them, they need a fairly cold winter, but I know it used to get to near bloody zero while I was on night shift at the EKKA! Worth a shot. Cheers
