Growing Hops

I'm growing hops to use in our home brewing process. Below are a couple of pictures of the progress of the vines. Hops vines grow 20 to 30 feet per year. I planted them on the south side of the house under the eves. Then put in twine from the ground to the underside of the eves on the second story. The hops have already reached the eves and, in some cases, have grown another 6 feet hanging down.

The variety I'm growing is "Mt Hood". Good for making honey wheat beer.
