any other places, with other varieties. how well do hops do in pots. as all ways moving house

My first year Chinook in a pot gave up 250gms of dried flowers, however I think its recommended to plant into the ground for the second year. I imagine if you had a pot big and deep enough you might get a couple of years out of it. Has anyone continued to grow their hops in a pot beyond year one?

I've ordered a Perle and Mt Hood rhizone from Grumpys, more as a trial I guess.

Just wondering if when formualting a brew with home grown hops, do you just use the industry standard range for bitterness or should you make other adjustments when hopping?

Cheers

Nah last year i got my first rhizomes off ebay and some more off an AHB member "Lockrockingbeers" they all grew nicely in pots, didnt get a huge harvest first year round and am considering putting them in the ground this year if i can fine a suitable place.

Hi Kong,

I guess I was being lazy and thought I'd give it a try.Just rang them and put the order in. The Rhyzomes come direct from the grower.

I've bought goodies from them before and all has worked OK.

Cheers

I was lucky enough to have been given my rhizome from Col at BYOAH in Canberra two years ago. Ive since taken a cutting and giving that to Trough Lolly. Im not really too interested in buying any more - no-where to grow them really. But if I was offered a cutting swap i'd be in on that.

Jagerbrau; according to the guys on the Brewing Network, you could grow hops in pots but they need to be wide, as the roots grow horizontally.

 

[Steve]

Funny you should say that Busboy because I read that they grow straight down, deep down. When I was pulling my tomato plants out in autumn I noticed all these new strange roots (obviously from the hop plant) growing horizontally along my vegie patch? Basically it would have to be a big pot.

its interesting have read that go down, also read spread out. might first year wack in a pot, and then pray to the mighty beer gods that i find somewhere perminiate to plant my hop roots.
