Denne humleplante is quickly outgrowing its temporary support pole. I can't do any heavy lifting for a bit because of my recent surgery. So, it's time for a bandaid to extend the pole to about 2 meters high. This will, hopefully, buy me enough time until I can get my real hop poles put up.

Glacier hops have made quite a comeback after I weed whacked them to the ground on the 1st.

New zine! Not about beans!

This one has my recipe for an herbal pain-relief salve with hops, the one I use for endo and ovarian cyst pain. You could also use the instructions to make other salves with different herbs. As always, wishing ease and rest to everyone in pain today 🌱

I just thinned the new shoots on one of min humle. Supposedly, one can cook and eat the new shoots like asparges.

I'll find out tonight. 😬

I got a hop plant🤩
Not exactly sure what I will do with it yet, but a friend gave it to us, so I will figure something out 🤔
Since I won’t be brewing anytime soon, I will look into other options beyond hop tempura🤔

I’m doing a disinfection boil on my brew system in preparation for the brew day. Hopefully my brother will visit and help out with the brewing. Today’s brew will be a smash lager with Swedish malt and a recently rediscovered Swedish hop variety.

It won’t be a regular lager, but I’m hoping it will be tasty at least.

Harvested my hops this weekend. Gladly got nearly a bucket full out of it again, after the plants needed some recovery from the neighbour spraying weed killer along the fence line a couple of years ago. My 'Fuggle' (the variety) smells wonderful!

Should have harvested a week earlier, though ...
