How's your hops coming along S....

They are like triffids!
I’ve moved the cascade,centennial and chinook our of the poly tunnel though cause after july I couldn’t get it for hops so they are fending for themselves outside with the challenger, bram x and first gold!
Demand for hop plants dropped off so I started growing veg again!!!!!
I’ve a freezer full of my own grown hops to use up as Michelle wants some space
I did a 50 l brew last week with a lot of challenger, something along the lines of a summer lightning!
Looking forward to that!
How you getting on Gerry, much brewing? The meetings are by the wayside! No national ch’ships again either!!!!!

I see your keeping busy as usual as I am.I have two kits about to get dry hopped one MJ IPA and a MYO IPA just to get dry hopped tonight and kegged my Shipyard Rye Pale Ale V3 and a cascade SMaSH so as to get my supplies up.
There is a few of us locally on the forum who are brewing away but would great to get a meet up if we could organise it in the near future so may start a thread later to gather some interest..

It’s a gradual but inevitable step towards all grain!!!!!

Hi Fatcontroller, thanks for the welcome. Couldn't be coming to a better area than North West. I'm aware on reading the forum for many months that other people have said similar to me regarding "no Grain" but quite sure I would be unable to go to the next step. Anyways I have to say some of the lagers
