Rhizomes planted on 3/9/13

I just picked up 50 lb for $37.75… That’s easier lol

But not “Estate Grown”  :wink:

Great job on those hops.  I’m envious .  I think a wet-hopped Tim with the Centennial,Cascade, and Zeus sounds pretty killer to me.

I’m so proud that is catching on lol

Thanks Jon…I just brewed a 4 C Tim not long ago with pellets. It has found its way into my top 5 brews. Maybe number 2. It was a 10 gallon batch. 1/2 oz of each Cent, Cascade, Columbus, and Chinook at FW, an oz of Chinook and Columbus at 60 minute, an oz of Cent and Cascade at 30, and ounce of all 4 at flame out, and dry hopped each carboy with an ounce of each. If I yield enough, this year, I may try and brew a fresh hopped 4 C’s.

Oh yeah, overlooked the Chinook.  That definitely needs to be in there.  Need to try my hand @ growing again after seeing those pics.

I pre ordered the rhizomes (rooted cuttings) from the thyme garden in October. Very nice quality. They ship on a first come first serve basis so I’m sure I got some of the best cuttings.

I culled my first hop harvest. It was maybe fifteen cones. Definitely not enough for a Tim.

I can’t be happier with my first harvest from my first year Chinook! There’s still some left maturing on the bine. I also got a handful of Magnum and Willamette today too. There are a ton on the Columbus and Nugget plants, but they’re a couple weeks away.

Looks like the makings of a BA Tim coming up !

With all the time and energy spent prepping and growing the hops, it’s worth the effort to put them to sleep for the winter…

8), cleans up pretty nice!

That red bark sure blends in nice with your building.
I always wonder what kinds of chemicals and dyes must be in that new mulch. :o
It can’t naturally be that red can it?

some of it is. the redwood bark mulch is pretty red. but yeah. Interesting tidbit, morel mushrooms LOVE whatever those chemicals are, A freshly mulched lawn is a great place to look for morels later in the winter (spring?)
