    2011 Hop Plantations, Show Us Your Hops!

    This is my second year Chinook. This photo was taken in May, and there are more shoots now. Do you guys think I should do a heap of trimming? My 3rd year PoR is looking very similar as well. Looks like it might be another good year. Last year between 4 plants I got over 2 Kg dry.

    Thanks wolfy for organizing this, it was my first Bulk buy and the whole process was smooth and easy. It was just a shame it was a quick trip for me, I wouldhave liked to have scanned the keg king store and have a go at the beer on tap. Cheers :beerbang:

    Beersmith 2.0

    Good to see Brad looking after his clients. I just pre ordered BS2, having brought BS 1.4 early last year he has offered all 1.4 users a discount for pre ordering. $16.95 US which was slightly cheaper with the good aussie dollar. :super:

    Will Using A Heat Mat In A Chest Freezer Affect The Gas?

    I'd be interested to hear about this too. My chesty, seems to have done the same recently under the same circumstances.

    Lpg Regulator

    I haven't had a chance to brew with it yet, but I did give a test run just on my turkey burner. Had it up to about 200kpa and the flame was jumping out. I was quite impressed with the reg and the burner, can't wait to get a chance to actually brew with it.

    Lpg Regulator

    I've got the same reg, however I made my hose up at work. They are primarily designed for welding purposes and I used fittings you get from a welding supplier, so I assume you should be able to get complete hoses from a welding parts supplier. Cheers

    Hop Cones Have Gone Red!

    Thanks Rupert, my first thought also was that there was some sort of deficiency, but none of the other bines had the same colours, so then I was worried it was a disease or something. Seeing yours gives me some hope :D , I'll just wait it out and see how the mature. Cheers :beer:

    Hop Cones Have Gone Red!

    Thanks John, I also found this and sent Rupert a pm asking him about it. I got my rhizome from fellow AHB'er Wolfy.

    Hop Cones Have Gone Red!

    I'm not sure on pH, and the temp has been dropping to low to mid teens overnight. It's a bit odd 'cause I have a POR and 2 mt hoods as well and they seem fine apart from some browning on ends(the cones haven't matured yet though). I hope it hasn't rendered the cones unusable :(
