February Meet - Sun 18th?

Oh oh.. me too! Only a 10L batch. Have only just racked it, and am taking it very easy on it. Looking at the plant again this morning and I think I could probably harvest enough for another one sometime pretty soon (I left the small ones and a quite a few that were not yet developed).

Nice!

My plants went bonkers, I've pulled 4kg from them so far with another kilo or so to go (I've got quite a few plants).

Ran out of freezer space so I'll have to make an IPA from the rest. Used a Kolsch yeast on my first real wet hopped brew, can't wait.

Oh wow. I only have the one cascade plant. First year. We rent, so probably not after any more hehe.

I got about 120g from the first harvest, but won’t get half that from another.

I have a 15m section at the back of the yard, and bunch of rhizomes/cuttings that I'll either give away or transplant into new positions. I've been told by the boss that I've been limited to the back fence only so I have to be selective in what I choose/grow [emoji15]

In terms of best variety, chinook seem to love my yard. I got 2kg just from 3 first year chinook alone.

I'm hoping a few of us get a good harvest next year and we can swap some varieties.

Hey @fungrel just saw your post that you had a bunch of rhizomes/cuttings, I've finally found a spot in my yard that would be perfect for trying a go at hops but having some trouble locating some.i am fairly new to all this but loving every bit of it! Is there any chance i could buy some from you? i live over in Sydneys west. any help would be great cheers

I'll only have Cluster to divide, if you want a few just send me a PM.
