Wherever man has ventured, beer has followed. Now, two Australian entrepreneurs hope that will include space.

I liked the "representative" that admitted that he had one of the biggest bootleggers in the state in his district...........easy to see who benefits from his vote against the bill. The citizens of Alabama voted these clowns into office, it is their duty vote them out. :beer5 :beer10

Well, hopefully WI (and the rest of the country) learns from this Walker experience.

Just got this info from Hops Direct for those of you growing your own.

Summertime in the Yakima Valley is typically a very hot and dry season, making the valley an exceptional area for growing hops. Growing season is primetime to witness the payoff of your hard work; however, you must be aware of the possibility of aphid infestation in your crops. To help eliminate this frequent issue, we use a specialty pesticide on our farm. Pay close attention to your crops as aphids are extremely common.

Also during this time, you can assist the plants to reach their full potential in many ways. Make sure that the soil surrounding the hop plant is moist, but do not drown the plant by overwatering, as this will cause root rot. After the plants are really growing, (about two months) you should fertilize them with any balanced potted plant fertilizer, such as Miracle-Gro®. Hops also benefit from applications of a garden fertilizer, such as Mega Green, in spring and summer during growth season.

Other Info:
This summer we are offering a new hop variety as a possible substitute from Australia, while quantities last, to folks looking for Amarillo Hops!

Galaxy Pellet Hop
Alpha Acid 13.0 - 14.8%
Dual Purpose Hop
Unique and striking aroma including a pleasant combination of citrus, passion fruit, and watermelon.
Provides significant bittering.
Typical Brewing style includes American Ales and IPA's.

That's pretty cool, but it's $6000 and takes all the fun out of brewing.
