Growing Hops

[storeboughtcheeseburgers]

Plenty of zomes will come up here over the next month, patience chaps.

Yeah Tis the season, I've been told - do they come up in the for sale?

yep, should be loads about very shortly, I think Doc Sumrto still has Chinook and Victoria Zomes for sale, shoot him a PM

Store them in the fridge. Dont feeze them
them.

Oh Crap, my zomes were in the fridge when I had a brain fart and plugged the wrong fridge into the temp controller for super cold crash! A few bottles popped, so I'm guessing it went way below zero. Any horticultural brewers know what happens when rhizomes freeze for a day?

 

[Yob]

a bloke grows them in canada on this forum, I rekon theyll be fine

purchased a Saaz rhizome off a fella an e-bay, arrived yesterday.
fantastic size with heaps of shoots and roots, about 4 times the size of zhomes I picked up last year from various sources(most of them grew quite well).
Worth looking at if you wany Saaz, I think I pid $31 delivered, bit pricey but I think it will be worth it for the first year growth I expect I'll get.

Freeze! I think that's what they did for a few hundred years, I can't imagine that they dragged them out of the soil every year before the snow.
Yob I won't ask how and where ... I'll only ask how can I get some? ... what's your price ... what varieties don't you have that you might like, etc etc, can I grow them up for you please

I am surprised that there has not been a comment regarding Melbourne having more sunshine hours than Sydney. Perhaps it's just an urban myth...
