Growing your own homegrown hops<\/a> is an incredibly rewarding process that adds another level of pride and self-sufficiency to your homebrew. Hops are very easy to grow and produce an attractive, fast-growing plant. During their peak growing season, the vines (called \u201cbines\u201d) can grow over a foot per day in all directions searching for something to climb. They\u2019re excellent climbers and will take over any lattice, pergola, or other climbable surface. Growing hops requires very little equipment and costs almost nothing. Once you have harvested your hops, how do you get them to dry quickly to avoid spoilage? A food dehydrator<\/a> works well, but can only dry a small amount of hops at a time. Luckily, a DIY Hop Drying Screen is just about the easiest homebrewing DIY project you can do, and you might even have the materials you need lying around!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
