Only need about 1oz for other beers, but if I'm going to grow my own hops, I want to taste those hops in my beer, dammit! Plus, our IPAs have always turned out fantastic. Anyway, I'll talk to my friends about it, seeing as it's their garden and all. The prettiness aspect is a good selling point.<br /><br />CSA = community supported agriculture. Basically, we get a bin of veggies every weekend from a local farm. You sign up in the Spring and then get a bin every week through October or so. It's pretty fun because we get all sorts of weird veggies that we wouldn't buy otherwise, and we split it with another couple so we get to have a weekly vegetable haggle.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00681636989085474493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7346722800137134661.post-11083793996976455362011-08-16T22:55:18.285-07:002011-08-16T22:55:18.285-07:00My buddy Craig gave me two ribosomes that he took ...My buddy Craig gave me two ribosomes that he took from his setup. They were in a fairly shaded area until then got about eight to twelve feet where they started to thrive. <br /><br />I don't know how much one would need to make one IPA. I mean if you are going to brew you should do the full car-boy but brewing is Craig's thing. I grew them for foliage over my trellis. I know he puts them in a food dehydrator and so they lose a lot of weight.<br /><br />He has quite a hop setup and I think he gets enough to do two five gallon batches. They are pretty and grow fast so I would defiantly pick some up to enjoy and harvest. Who knows, you might get enough to have some incredible beer. <br /><br />Also what is a CSA bin?Wink Nutnoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02916469115954724336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7346722800137134661.post-1106308863387577952011-08-16T12:13:31.066-07:002011-08-16T12:13:31.066-07:00Looking good!

I just fried up and ate a whole pound last night! (Made up a sauce with sriracha, honey, and garlic, which turned out pretty great.)<br /><br />How much hops did you get and how much space did it take up? I know you're not impressed by the output, but I might try to grow it in my friend's garden next year if I can get enough for just one IPA... Would need about 4oz, dried.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00681636989085474493noreply@blogger.com
