I would stick to one variety in one spot and keep it at that. So, I just call it "my hops" I have 6 plants and it's more than enough to brew a batch of beer. I have a bunch of varieties, but like an idiot, I just planted them next to each other, which means they will crossbreed. I cut mine back fairly close to the ground and they seem to do fine. Mulch them by fall and they should be fine. They go down DEEP and find water, so after they have established, you'll have a lot of success. A little bit the 2nd year and just watch for them to not get crispy after that. You'll need full sun and the first year you'll water them a ton. My cascade & saaz are doing that, the others not so much. Like I said before 1st year plants not much, but by 3rd year you could see 1 to 2lbs/plant. It depends upon the plant and the growing conditions for that year. Full sun, with a southern exposure is good.Īs far as how much you can expect, well that's tough to say. Don't expect much if anything the first growing season, but on the second year things should take off, and 3rd year should be really good. You should start see pre-orders for rhizomes here soon. I've gotten mine from homebrew shops & other online sources like FreshHops. Just look into what hop rhizomes you can find, and what hops you like and go from there. I had them die out, and I put in a new rhizome a year or so ago. Golding have always been my problem child. Just like with plants certain variety will grow better in different areas/conditions. I live in Minnesota as well, the hops make it through the winters just fine. You can plant them closer together (like 2-3 feet) and not worry about getting the varieties mixed up at the top of the string which is nice for getting more productivity out of the side of you house. I’d recommend doubling up and getting two of a couple varieties like cascade or centennial. Getting the bitterness honed in can also be a struggle. Skip bittering hops, you can buy an oz or two of those at the store, they’re a waste of space unless you have like 12+ non bittering hop varieties. Keep in mind you will get a ton of hops off the plants after a few years so homegrown hops and a love of IPAs is always a good pairing. Hood and it makes a beautiful pale ale and can be used for hefes and whatnot. Get some of the classic C varieties and maybe one or two Americanized Noble hops. Put them 6-8 feet apart on the south side of your house. If you have space, get as many as you can, shoot for aroma and flavoring hops.
