Hops / Re: Hops water setup

Looking good man!
I always prune the first young sprouts up to about 6" tall. They taste great sauteed with some butter, salt and pepper...
My hops are starting to bloom some now. They reached the roof in mid June and have been on their way back down ever since. I need to water mine with the hose though but I've been using mulch the last couple years and it certainly helps keep the moisture right and it gives the soil some nutrients.
I gotta be honest though your set up looks and sounds awesome!

Mine haven't grown nearly as high as past years. Thinking I didn't prune off enough in the spring. Big and bushy, not long an lean.

I usually cut off all the first growth, then select 3 of the strongest bines to train. I've been a bit lazy this year and haven't cleaned up the bottoms again.
