Hop farming
Tuesday, April 29th, 2008I have joined a hops-farming co-op. We’re a bunch of local homebrewers who have started a hops farm not only to hedge against rising hop prices, but also to have an excuse to play in the mud every rainy weekend.
For the last several weeks, we have been getting the ground ready, planting the hops, and last weekend, erecting the poles that will support the lines that the hop vines will grow up.
Progress and photos can be found at: http://zenzele-brewery.blogspot.com/, the blog of our fearless leader (I’ll put a link on the sidebar too).
