Did you boil the hops? Can you explain the process in a bit more detail. If you sampled your beer from the fermenter tap, you may have carried some of the dissolved hops from the dry hop addition into your sample. It will taste bitter/astringent. How many liters of beer did you brew? What...

Yeah ok, it's Victoria. Sister to Galaxy but very different. Great hop cultivar. I was going to say, hand some Vic. Secret over to me. :P

Ummmmmmm....how did you get Vic Secret?

Very strange. Yeah, could be the amount of shade they are in and then getting a big whack of sun. Hopefully a good water and they will recover. Mine are in full sun all day and are loving it. I did pull a pot out of the shed that was in shade for 2 weeks and into direct sunlight and it fried.

I doubt it has anything to do with the amount of sun they are getting, unless they've been in shade for a while and were just put out into full sun. If they are in pots, the sun may have heated up the soil to a stressing level...try wrapping shade cloth around the pots.

Are you definitely capping at 50?

Kill them all!!!! When I find them, I pull them off and step on them. Hopefully you are only dealing with the occasional one and don't have to spray. If you see eggs on the bottom side of a leaf, remove leaf and burn.

Things are just starting to kick on here. I'll have to string very soon.

Things are just starting to take off here in Yellingbo, VIC.

It's been too cold so far this year and Chinook come late to the party.

My 3 rhizomes from last year are now 6 plants. I'll probably do some cuttings this year and bury some bines to convert to rhizomes, so will hopefully have some next year. I'm hoping to build stock for myself but potentially may have some spare.

After 6 weeks of harvesting and selling rhizomes, I'm finally getting back to the hop field. Making room for Columbus and Centennial, fertilising and mulching between rain storms at the moment. It won't be long before they start poking their heads up here in VIC.

There's a few hop growers around the Adelaide area who may have crowns available, and at the very least, rhizomes. I've seen a bit of action on Aussie Hop Head Chat: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1219747821411139/

I'll have Cluster and Victoria crowns available soon for anyone local to Yarra Valley/Dandenong Ranges. $30 each.

Cascade and Cluster now sold out. Still plenty of Chinook and Victoria.

Interested if not sold.

Hi Andre, Please PM me for details. Cheers

Mine grow to normal height ;)

They will be degraded. But if you don't care about getting the exact IBU's in your brews and they don't smell off, give them a go. Alphas, Betas and oils will degrade over time. Oxygen is the killer and it will nip away at them over time, even if frozen.
