My green monster, a modified clone of JonW’s stand is soon to be on it’s way here from Kurt. Let’s hope the delivery driver doesn’t wreck the neighborhood. I feel your pain, I’ve still got too much work to do to get my brewery finished.. Uhhg.

Yes, pump outlet should always be up to help bleed the pump.

That story is hilarious. Leave it to a homebrewer to destroy the neighborhood.

Hope you can find the time to finish it soon – it looks sexy. Love those wind shields. One thing about the pumps – you want the outlet pointing straight up in the air. That way any air bubbles will naturally rise to the top and be purged from the tubing.

Hi Joe, I used last years growth and manure.

Wow! Nice growth. What I planned to do for mine is use those retractable clothes lines under my garage eaves. Not sure of the distance between your trees, or if you can find one that stretches far enough, but it would give the bines several lines to grow horizontally.

It would increase the surface area for horizontal growth as they have a few lines for hanging clothes. Train a lead onto each line. Not sure of the weight of a fully grown hop plant so you may need to add support midway so the line does not break. On the other hand, if they support wet clothes they may be strong enough.

If I may ask, what do you use for fertilizer? I am just starting out with growing hops.
