I’m harvesting soon I’m super excited!

Awesome, I may just have to take a shot at growing my own hops in a few years! Thanks for the informative videos they are a huge help!

Thanks for the help!!

We really appreciate that! Tis the season!

I moved my hops. In the fall, and got more hops this spring. All my plants flowered this year. The one from.last year went crazy. I just ordered some stuff. I'm going to brew my first all grain BIAB beer with my own hops! I did the grain bill from the seara Madre kit. I'll probably get a gallon kit so I can see what my hops do. Fun part is I can't remember what I planted where lol

In England I dry by weight down to 20% of the original wet weight. Then compress the hops in a 2 inch drain pipe into pugs of about 100 grams each. Wrap in foil and store in freezer. I am still using hops from the 2019 harvest.

Did you dry them the same way as the video?

Excellent, thanks!

Thank you for bringing back informative videos. Stopped watching for a while because it seemed like all you guys played were commercials for products I had no desire to buy or need for my brewing. Keep it up NB!

Liking these hops videos. Hope to grow some when I have the space. Just ordered 3 Little Big Mouth Bubblers and can't wait for them to get here to get some Mead brewing. Would love to try a hopped Mead.

A dry-hopped mead sounds awesome. We've had a couple over the years. They are really fun.

Can homegrown hops be used for culinary purposes, flavouring? Do they have medicinal properties for teas or tinctures?

Hello. I'm a 1st year grower. I've read that you should treat the bines differently after harvest, than older ones. What should I do with them? Thanks!

Yes, the first year, let them continue to gather and store sunlight energy until they die back after the first frost. Then you can cut the bines back.

My bines are 15 ft high and the hops at the highest points look ready to harvest. Does it make sense to pick the high point and leave the lower ones for a while to ripen?

Yes, you can do that.

Could you freeze wet hops?

@NorthernBrewerTV

While it's not our recommended method, we supposed you can freeze fresh hops, but the main issue (as with most food) is enzymatic degradation. By drying the hops, the moisture content is lowered and any enzymes are denatured. This degradation can even happen at freezer temps. If you freeze fresh undried hops, we would suggest using them as quickly as possible. Cheers!

I planted my hops in a bad spot. They are growing fine, but it cuts off a lot of space from one of my beds. I a, going to dig them up this fall and plant them in the back of my other bed. It’s closer to my house and I can get an eyelet up high and run my cordage through it for my bones to grow up.

eat them raw
