I just ordered three more rhizomes for the back forty (feet) this brings the total of plants I will have active to five. What does this mean?, I am hoping to do several batches of single variety hop IPA’s using wet hops. This will be the second year for the Cascade and Centennial plants so the growth should be really good this year. Every thing I have read is the first year the hops put down roots and the second they put on fruit. The other varieties I bought for this year are Nugget, Chinook, and Willamette. Perhaps this year we can do a hop harvest festival at the old family homestead.
