Purchased a ton of barley malt and planning on growing a few acres of barley this next year on my farm just to learn the malting process. Need to plant a few more hop vines including a few more varieties and I’ll be self sustaining.

Rock on! Nothing like starting from dirt and making bread (or beer).

Are your hops doing ok? I remember the shortage we had a while back.

I don’t have many hops growing. Only a few dozen vines, mostly cascade. I purchased 40 lbs of assortment, nitrogen packed , pelletized and put them in my freezer. They keep fairly well that way. I’m getting low now.
