    Hop Rhizomes for sale - Victoria, Chinook and Cascade.

    You can put them in pots, but in six months time, they'll be fully grown (in height) which would make moving them difficult. Might be best to tackle growing next season.

    Mill Master Mini Mill and Keg King Maltmuncher motor

    Has anyone used the Maltmuncher motor with the Mill Master Mini Mill? Not much out there on this topic that I could find. My plan is to mount these on a table on wheels so I can roll it out on brew day and store out of the way when not in use. I have the Mill and hopper, the motor, and have...

    Centennial or Victoria.

    Victoria (not Vic. Secret) is a sister to Galaxy, but attributes are different. I'll have crowns and rhizomes available over winter, and will post once dug up. There is Centennial around, but rare as hens teeth at the moment. I should have plenty of rhizomes in a few years time. I'd say...

    Hops taking off again

    Hi trq, Don't cut the hop plants completely to the soil level after harvest. Leave as much of the bottom part of the plant as you can for it to brown off naturally and then cut back to soil level. There is still a bit of time left in the growing season and the hops want to take some nutrients...

    Haha, yes they are. I have 30 to pull out this year.

    2018 Hop Plantations

    Yield slowing over the years may have to do with vernalisation. You might be better off removing the plant each year and going with a rhizome that's been in the fridge over winter. There's debate about this, but hops need time below 4C to set flowering for the following year.

    SHould I buy a 100L Pilot Brewery From China?

    Mate, so sorry to hear. :( That really sucks.

    2018 Hop Plantations

    You can get a moisture meter at Bunnings or the local garden store, it's just a probe that sticks into the soil. I use one occasionally. Mounding allows water to the plant but excess water is shed. When there is no rain here, I'm watering 14L per plant per day.

    2018 Hop Plantations

    Not dramatically, but in my experience, yes it will. I've planted crowns and have also moved and replanted crowns. Hops love water, but not wet feet...they will suffer root rot sitting in moist soil long term. Better off moving them, and if you can mound them with a loamy soil.

    Glycol chilling and multiple jacketed fermentors

    I don't remember exactly but they aren't cheap by the time they are landed, customs, delivery, etc. Probably not in most homebrewers budget, but my intention is to use these commercially in the near future. Contact Dave Brough if you are interested, his contact number is on their website...
