I'd hold off from visiting for now, either a new certificate that was recently deployed isn't working correctly or something more nefarious is at play.

Do the noble and noble-esque hops like Mt Hood just not have that aroma of the American C varieties? I have this Mt Hood that looks ready, but doesn't really have much aroma with the exception of some subtle floral notes. Is it ready or should I wait a few days longer?

Yep. Down for me as well.

One of the most recent books I've been reading on hops has recommended tablespoon bicarbonate soda to 4L water to control as a natural fungicide on hops. Been using this for the last 4 weeks on all plants, works well.

Just picked 1kg from a 2.4m section of first year bines, still more to pick in that section. I'm really surprised. Side question, I want to build the soil 15-30cm above the current level of the crowns to build a garden bed in that section of the yard. Will this affect the bines in subsequent...

If this is the second year, you've got to move it somewhere else. I doubt it will flower in the same location it failed to flower in last year. Is there a lot of light shining on the plant at night through that window? And is that area concreted?

In the meantime, consider sending in your beers to competitions for objective feedback. It's an invaluable way to improve your beers while you wait for the club to gain some traction.

Can you post some photos of the pot, plant and location

I got the info from this site

One minor gripe, There is no address details for the Brewer's Den on Compmaster. Also, are the entries stored cold from the closing date?

Came across this info, perhaps it's relevant when growing in QLD?

Near gone brewing, Mingara/Tumbi Umbi

Just thinking how time creeps up, so thought I would put my hand up to host if everyone is okay with the offer. Does 18th (3rd Sunday) suit most?

Cheers everyone for the help in diagnosing the strange wilting of smaller undeveloped cones. It seems that picking the dead and dying flowers, application of liquid copper and natrasoap did the job. The first year chinook bines are absolutely loaded.

That's one thing I struggle with as a new grower (and others will most likely struggle too).. How do you know when to water? The plants themselves are such vigorous growers and they can be sitting in bone dry soil and not seem to wilt easily.

Given a round of liquid copper, then a round of neem. Will check in a week to see if it's made a difference. I believe some of the plants don't like being in a moist part of the yard, thinking of relocating a second and first year crown. Does relocating a bine affect yield dramatically?

There are a few brewers around Gosford and a few up north that try to get together once a month if you're interested. About to organise a meet for the 18th if you feel like coming along and trying a few other brewer's creations. Usually held at someone's place.

Last three days were hot, windy and unusually humid, and this has only occurred on the very small burrs that have developed over the last week. I've been struggling with spider mites, but no evidence of any critters on leaves or in the area. Also starting to wonder if there isn't sufficient...

Anyone know why I'm seeing this only on the Mt Hood varieties, and not on any others? All plants have had same watering / feeding schedules.
