Ok, sitting here looking out at 12+ inches of snow, and having survived a twenty below zero "dip" last night, what else is there to do but to think about springtime!
Visiting the Cooperstown Farmer's Museum in upstate New York last summer, one got quite an excellent picture of how important hop growing used to be to this part of the country. As we have an abundance of what I would think would be suitable growing space, I'd like to find more information about how one might go about growing their own hops-- in anticipation of using them in brewing?
