September 24, 2007 – Hops Harvest
The hops experiment has been somewhat successful. The vines didn’t cover quite as much of the trellis as I’d hoped, but it did produce hops in year one! Check out what it looked like on May 11 from the same vantage point.
So, now I’ve got to figure out what to do with them. (Actually I know what to do with them, it’s the how I lack.)
Here’s some of the harvest on the drying racks. I’m virtually clueless on the correct time to harvest hops in this part of the country. Any brewmasters out there have advice for me on timing and post-harvest?

Email Doc Taylor, former State Center resident. He brews in his basement, should have some links for you on hops.
