If anyone is looking to purchase and grow Hops, Both Northern Brewer and Midwest are now taking pre-orders.

We've had good luck with Cascade, Centennial, Magnum, and Fuggle.

I've got Cascade & Nugget. The Cascade produces like crazy, the Nugget, not so much.

Cascades grow like weeds... Fuggle, Willamette not so good. I have a freind that has Chanook and they've done really well with very long cones, compared to the Cascade.

Ok, I got my rhizomes today, Cascade, Centennial, Magnum, and Fuggle. any suggestions on when to plant or how to run them . I am considering a 16'-20' tent style system with pulley's to lower them at harvest. I'm fortunate to have the room. Any ideas would be great. Thanks, Ben G.
