Consejos de cultivo

Hops require tall trellis systems (5-6 m); invest in proper infrastructure before planting as the trellis is the major capital cost.

Train 2-3 vigorous bines per string in a clockwise direction; remove lower leaves to 1 m height for disease prevention and air circulation.

Harvest when cones feel papery and spring back when squeezed, and lupulin glands are golden-yellow — dry immediately to 8-10% moisture.
