Lord willing he is back. TY

Harvest when crispy and fragrant, cut down to a few inches of the base at the end of the season when they sprout in spring pick best two stems of each plant to run your trellis, next season will be way better yield wise, brew some beer very rewarding cheers from michigan!

Wooooo I just learned that there is something called Hops less than 5 days ago and I was reading on how to buy it and how to grow it And today comes this great video, I don't think this is coincidence God bless and thanks for sharing

Favorite gardening channel! Hope you keep posting. Your gardens are amazing.

I'm all grown up now but I've been watching you since I was a kid. Missed you real bad man you've taught me a lot. Bless you so much my brother I know father loves you. Keep doing what you do and don't let anything hold you down. Amen

Glad to see you back to making videos. I have learned a lot of the things I now use every season from watching you. Keep up the good work!

Great seeing you again. Welcome back!!!

I don't do Beer, but I do hard Cider. The yest you use is a big part of it as well. Thanks for giving!

Lord willing welcome back

Good stuff can't wait to see the follow up episodes.

I got a feeling you will master the art of growing hops . I watched to many videos for not to think you will be a master at it .

Awesome new videos so glad to see you're back

thanks for the video. what little we saw of your garden. it looks great.

Cool project!

Very glad to see your back Bobby

Bobby if all the hops are brown and they should be in oct cut the vine near the ground bring the vine down pick the hops and freeze them. frost will kill the plant but the root should overwinter. Chnoock are native american but all should overwinter and come back next spring.

I'm expecting much better production next year, Hopefully I get some cooperation from Mother Nature. We're in the midst of a serious drought and despite a lot of watering from me, I think the plants could have done even better with a few decent rains.

Right on keep up the hard work good is a lot of work

Looks like a lot of fun Bobby ! Hope it works out well for ya brother ! Can't wait to see what ya brew up ! Peace

Thanks for a new video and reminding me why I subbed in the first place.

love your videos keep on making them

Can’t go wrong growing hops. Wait til next year to see the full year results. I’ve been growing centennial hops for 2 years and have been brewing craft beer for years. Cheers!

Thx, Centennial is on my list for next Spring.

love the video

I've driven thru Idaho and they got some huge hop farms out there

Check "Haphazard Homestead". She knows about all sorts of groovy stuff and grows her own hops. She even shows you how to harvest parts for eating in the spring that taste and chew like asparagus. I saw a neat hinged hops trellis, but not sure if she was the one who made it. She does a lot of foraging and non-traditional things that we don't think of doing anymore.

Sweet! MPH and beer! Hey been watching your channel for 4 or 5 years now. You and your bride are inspirational. Been brewing for 3 years now. When I go into a hobby, it's all or nothing. I've grown 7 varieties here in NW Arkansas cascade, alpharoma, Pacific gem, centennial, tripple perle, sterling, multi-head neo mexicana. The order in which listed did the best. Anything with Cascade parentage or new Zealand varieties do pretty well in southern climates. What I look for in the harvest is the sound of crinkley tissue paper. Pick all and leave the bines on the poles for your first year. Use box fan with hops sandwiched between clean air filters and then Vacuum seal. If you have less than 3-4 oz of hops, brew a 3 gallon batch maybe brew in a bag stove top for all grain or even an extract brew woud be fine. Zeus is good in pales, ipas, blondes or ambers. GOD bless you and yours!

I've had several beers from the Asheville area, good stuff. Would like to make a trip over there for the Fall leaves and some serious sampling of breweries. Blue Mountain is our fav brewery to eat at. .great beer, great food, and awesome scenery and overall atmosphere.

That was great! How tall is the top of the trellis?

As a former brewery owner and semi-professional brewer I'd say Cascades should grow well in our heat. The first year they need to be well watered. You can split the rhizomes each year in the spring and double your vines. Cheers!

Next year your vines should be larger and more productive. You are the master Gardner of all master gardeners that have ever been watch out for Japanese beetles. And Cascades are the native hop i misspoke.

Aw fella I am so happy you are back to posting....

Don't know anything about growing hops or brewing beer, so I will simply say that I have no doubt you will turn your 🌱 🌱 hop plants into your home brewed 🍺 🍺 beer!!! Looks like you've got a good handle on the growing part.......👍👍

It's a totally new venture for me, looking forward to the final results. Hopefully we can come with a pretty good brew.

Sorry I don't have any info to give. My neighbor has a buddy who grows these in a greenhouse hydroponically... I'm trying to check out that operation. But seeing how those things grow, I don't I'll be planting these in the basement. Hope you have a video of your final product :-)

I started this year too but just in back yard, you may be late if its still green and when you pinch it and it comes back then its ok if its still green so cut the vines and pick.

Edible Landscaping has Hops as well and they are in Afton Virginia. You might enjoy a visit to that nursery next time you are over that way.

Not a beer drinker.. But love the smell of hops! I think there is some other culinary OR medicinal use for them as well! GROW THEM! allaboutbeer.com/finding-culinary-uses-hops/ I know growing hops up in the NW area is a big deal.. so many handcraft beer businesses up there. Hops are really expensive.. if you try to buy them by the pound. GROW THEM.

Cascade hops are the best. I wonder how they will do down south? I heard that they are prone to powdery mildew and other humidity diseases.

Will you try to grow them hydroponically?

I think these videos are going to break the internet.

Put some alchol dehydrated beer into the soil (Vit B complex and sugars), and they will grow into Godzillas. And if you have some craft breweries in the area, get their post-mash, put that into the soil, and again all that fiber, mash, sugars, starches, proteins, amino acids, will make you an entire Eiffel Tower of permaculture food forest ....

recirculating hydroponic hops growing system?. dutch buckets? super hops. i heard kent goldings is a good one to grow.

@dmmflys

Kent golding is a good one to grow if you want a neutral or English style beer. The ones hes growing are American and New Zealand varieties. Much more citrusy or fruit kinda flavors. Like those in many of the IPAs.

Keep us posted, ok?

There he is ... Mmmm HPie ... Hops grow as fast as kudzu. Hops grown in WA and OR state are massive acreages of 15+ ft tall fence lines. Hops are cousins to marijuana ... like sugar is to cocaine (!)

I saw videos from the Northwest. Hops looked just like Kudzu.

Would think local microbreweries would love to buy their hops locally. Might be a good cash crop if you have the room. =If it's green, *you can grow it* !!!

I have to drive about an hour to get to any breweries. I'm truly in the middle of nowhere. I'd like to find somebody around here that I could sell to and make some extra change...be it hops, tomatoes, etc.

Just the first year, they will tack off. Haven’t grown any myself but their are plenty of videos in the tube for that knowledge of when their ready. Grow some wheat and barley and your set.

I usually just skip the beer and go straight for the liquor myself, but those hops look damn healthy! Maybe next year you can convert some potatoes into some homemade vodka?
