Growing Hops at Home - Video

This is the latest video from Ben's Homebrew. Growing Hops at Home covers what kind of mulch to use for growing hops, what kind of string to use for growing hops, chemical fertilizers for growing hops, harvesting rhizomes, training hop bines, trimming hop bines, and warding off aphids and mites that may decimate your hops at home. Check it out and please feel free to rate, comment or subscribe! Thanks!

nice vid, Ben! I was just looking at my bines springing up this afternoon and I got a premonition to check out your latest effort.
You give them a severe haircut and keep at it, no?

Ben, my cascade cones are looking ripe over here in Aliquippa, PA. Have you harvested yours yet?

to harvest. I lost some of my east kent goldings because I didn't harvest in time and they dried and burned out. :( Just not enough time. Maybe I'll post some more pics soon of my cascades. Just make sure they have the papery feel to them and they start to brown at the tips before you harvest.

Have fun harvesting!
