Hop Progress - June

Bramling Cross has reached to top of my guides, my ladder doesn’t go any higher, lol. Luckily it now has the old fall pipe to climb up. 

Fuggles doing well as usual and First Gold looking a lot healthier this year. Better get planning a green hop beer for October. I’m thinking I might do a version of my big english Wolsey IPA that was so popular a few years back. Didn’t do a green hop last year so quite excited to get that unique flavour back in a beer.

Allotment Hops Update

I’ve now got a basic trellis up on the allotment, we’ll see how well it works this year, I may revise the design. So far heavy winds have blown the string all over the place but I hope it’s a little more stable once the hops get growing up. With them being in such an exposed area and only in their second year they aren’t the largest yet, no where near my Fuggles at home, but at least I can now leave them to it with somewhere to grow.

Allotment Hops - March 2017

Last weekend I finally got around to clearing up the allotment and preparing my First Gold and Bramling Cross for their second year. They were already poking through the horse manure so it was rather pressing that I get them protected from the pesky rabbits. So now I’ve done that and installed phase1 of the hop trellis, the 3 large posts. Next I’ll be wiring them up similar to my trellis at home. Also new North Yorkshire flag flying high!

The Runaway Brewery, ESB

Here's your #BeerBods cheat sheet for @runawaybrewery ESB

Here’s your cheat sheet for ESB by The Runaway Brewery. We’ve had a few from this brewery now, the most recent being a Tropical Coffee IPA in the BeerBods Plus box back in January. Tonight’s sees us back on more familiar ground. If it wasn’t for the new world hops used in the mix it’d be full on #TradBods.

Homegrown Hops are making a late start for 2018.

My established Fuggle (top) is way ahead of the game, as to be expected. Soon we’ll be dining on surplus hop shoots! A rare delicacy.

Although my other plants are in their 3rd year this will be their first in the garden as I moved them from our allotment where they didn’t do very well at all. I didn’t have the time to manage it properly so hopefully the two dwarf First Golds (left) planted by the shed will be happier, although it’s suffering with some flooding now.

The Bramling Cross is in a large pot in a good sunny spot probably has a better chance as long as I don’t forget to water it. Soon I’ll need to work out how to support it as it won’t be quite so easy as the dwarf ones.

Normally year 3 is the start of good yields but these plants did so poorly in their first 2 years I think it might take a bit longer to establish them at home. Fingers crossed, some TLC and we’ll see how we go.
