Hops, Harvests and Brews

 We grew our hops on bamboo poles 20 feet in the air, however as the hops
developed and increased in weight the plant started sliding down the pole.
Next year we will use a climbing surface with more grip.
We harvested about 2 pounds of hops for brewing and another half pound
that we dried for tea (off of just four plants).

Some of our squash harvest.
The hop harvest!!!!
Cascade and Centennial Hops

Adding wet hops to the boil.



Straining out the hops and filling the carboy.

Just the cutest hop ever.
