2016 Hop Season

Hop Season is now in full swing with the emergence of Sunbeam . Pushing it's way through a nice layer of compost, still with only one large crown, I'm hoping for more than the one cone I've harvested in the last 5 years. I'd take pics of Nugget and Zeus, but Nugget busts out each year and seems to be growing well. The 3 Zeus plants have branched out into about a dozen crowns now. Boy, it'd be great to brew and Zeus, Nugget IPA in August!
