I have been drying my hop flowers for a few weeks now (flowered early in Brisbane and started flowering again a few weeks ago). How long should I dry them out for prior to using? Also, are they ok to just throw into the fermenter for dry hopping? Thanks.

2 year old rhizome. It is the first year I have grown it. I bought if off the guy from Albany. It was a very big rhizome. Might pick these ones and see if others grow in the new year.

My perle is about 4-5 metres hight. It started flowering a few weeks ago and then stopped. It is still growing fairly quickly. Should I pick the flowers or wait until they dry some more? I think the flowers are ready to be picked as most of the moisture has gone out of them.

So is anyone else's plant flowering or just mine?

My perle plant has grown to about 3m high (2nd year I think). It has about 10 decent size flowers at the top of the bine already. Is it normal for the plant to flower this early? It has been growing very quickly since I put it in about 2 months ago. Maybe they grow quickly in Brisbane?

Great job. Well done on sharing with all of us. I will give this a guy when I finish off my last kit. Didn't realise it would be a simple of this.

Thanks very much guys for the reply. I won't keep them in the fridge when I bottle them tonight. Your help is appreciated. Still getting the hang of things.

Not sure if this has been answered before, but I have some lager in the fridge at around 5 degrees in secondary. Once I bottle (not kegging), should I keep the bottles cold or is it ok to have them at room temperature prior to drinking? Thanks.

Wondering how long hops should keep in the freezer? I am planning on doing a bulk buy, but don't want to get too many. Thanks, Adam.

I am just starting out and keen to grow some hops. If anyone has any excess, I am willing to pay a bit plus postage to Brisbane (not sure how well they would grow up here), will give it a go. Thanks. Adam.
