Hop Flavor: November 2008
http://hopflavor.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 6, 2008. Election Day IPA - aka The Hop Bomb. Well, the first brew with homegrown hops is now in the keg.and a few bottles. I've decided to call it 'Election Day IPA' since it was kegged on election day. With the aggressive hopping of this beer, my nose was flooded with the aroma of grapefruit, causing my mouth to water during kegging/bottling. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Welcome to Hop Flavor!

Hop Flavor: Hops Update - May 23
http://hopflavor.blogspot.com/2009/05/hops-update-may-23.html
Wednesday, May 27, 2009. Hops Update - May 23. Memorial Day weekend left me with a lot of work to get done, some of which I still have yet to do! The big agenda items were weeding the vegetable garden and working on the new hop trellis. As you can see from the picture of the cascades (left), the 8 foot trellis from last year was not going to cut it! Only 2/3 the way through May and multiple bines already wandering the top and twisting themselves together. New trellis.next post! Welcome to Hop Flavor!

Hop Flavor: New Hop Trellis
http://hopflavor.blogspot.com/2009/06/new-hop-trellis.html
Saturday, June 13, 2009. My first hop trellis was only about 7-8 feet tall, and by the end of last year's season, most of my first year plants had overgrown the trellis. So, I decided that the trellis needed to be taller and just hoped my neighbors wouldn't complain! So, what to do for the new trellis and keep from spending a lot of $ $? My helpers chillin out on the roof of the shed! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Welcome to Hop Flavor! I created this blog to chronicle my attempt at growing hops, g...

Tuesday, June 16, 2009. Hops Update - June 12. Well, I'm finally catching up with posts for this year with this somew. Recent update on the hops progress. All the plants are doing very well, but at different stages due to variety and how aggressive I was when trimming early in the season. The picture to the right is of the entire hop garden, strung on the new hop trellis, and as of yet I haven't received any complaints from the neighbors! The goldings plants I started new this year (left) are. The other ...

Wednesday, August 27, 2008. Hops Update - August 22. Here in Oklahoma, we're still trying to get through the hottest days of the year, and yes, they. Have not been kind to my hops. My plants are still healthy and producing cones, but man they don't look too pretty anymore! As you will see from some of the pictures in this post, some of my hop cones and leave. My Goldings plant is producing more. And lastly, is a picture of the whole hop garden. It's hard to believe that just 5 months ago, this area o...

Hop Flavor: January 2009
http://hopflavor.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 22, 2009. Election Day IPA - beer review. I did want some constructive criticism on this beer so I entered it in the AHA Club Only Competition. With my local homebrew club FOAM. It did not win out against the other brews submitted by fellow club members to get submitted for the national judging, but I did get some BJCP. Average score of 31/50 wasn't bad for my first beer ever reviewed and brewed with homegrown hops to boot! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Welcome to Hop Flavor!

Hop Flavor: June 2009

Sunday, June 28, 2009. Hops Update - June 23. A quick (and late) update with a few pictures. The plants are still growing strong and the cascades are putting on more cones. They have also started to send out horizontal shoots which I hope will fill up with even more cones! The goldings is looking strong for its second year and I hope that I will be able to get some cones from it this year. The centennials have started to put on cones as well, although they are several weeks behind the cascades. Healthy, ...
