Hi Group, Is there a way to tell what my alpha acid is from my home grown hops?

Nope, not without a very expensive analysis. For that reason, I generally just use homegrown hops for aroma where the AA doesn't matter. Or you can just make an AA assumption based on the variety's usual AA, brew a batch, and see how close you guessed.

I have been thinking of growing hops on the trellis over my deck. Does anyone know how to get this started? I live in zone 4 (Milwaukee, WI).
Thanks!
