Hops Hops Everywhere


Today our little man made his very first visit to the brew store to pick up more supplies for upcoming brews.  My wife briefly explained that the hops pellets sold at the store are the same as the hops we are currently growing, but just in a different form (it's never to early to start learning!).   Upon arrival at the house we watered our hops and checked on growth.   Our Cascade hops are doing exceptionally well and although we had heard that you often get limited yield in the first couple of years our plants tell us differently.  Probably a couple of more weeks before the hops are ready for picking, but we are certainly excited to use them in a brew!


Already seeing some cones coming in!

Having added string so the hops could continue growing.



Our blueberry bushes that we hope to use in a recipe.
