Can you take a closer picture of the bug because it could be ladybug larvae which will do no harm!

Ok, thank you!

Hey guys! Today and tomorrow I will be training my hops and I need help with which shoots to pick. Should I use some of the really long ones, like the ones in the bottom right or should I use the smaller ones near the crown? Also I have not pruned at all and am wondering what to prune if you...

I used these. They have a 4" helix and are 40" long.

Finished it! Now just need to throw some ropes up and train them!

Hey guys, so I built a trellis and now I have to connect my poles that I built with wire. I'm wondering if I should put a pole in the middle of the two because the two that are in are 25 ft apart and they will be holding 7 plants. So if anyone could help out and tell me how to finish the trellis...

Thank you

So I have a friend that's from Lebanon and owns land there too. He was wondering if he would be able to grow hops there and if the climate is right. He also wonders what kind he could grow there. This may be a tough question, but if you would be able to answer this please do.

Also can I pitch a packet like a day after pitching the first 2?

It's also a 5/6 gallon batch

So I'm brewing a Double IPA and it's supposed to have a OG of 1.087. I have 2 packets of White Labs San Diego Super Blend (WLP090) and it was packaged on January 7 2016. Will this be enough yeast or should I go out and buy more packets or make a starter?

Greatlakeshops.com sells a few commercially but I'm guessing you don't want that much. If you do though you could order from him. You could maybe email them and see if they would send you 1 plant.

I highly recommend them!

Have you heard of Great Lake Hops they sell the whole plant and they are great! I live right next to them so it's easy for me to get plants but you can order them online at greatlakeshops.com !

Ok thanks
