Brew from Scratch Update

Regards the Brew from Scratch Project, well, best laid plans....

Here's the hops crop.  Pretty wimpy.




A back yard project got out of hand.  Never plan to just replace part of a decades old fence.  You quickly find out that the whole thing has rotten posts and needs replacement.  And trying to preserve hops vines while tearing down a fence, rebuilding it and replacing them, well, it is not easy.

In other news most of my barley crop was eaten by critters.  Deer are the prime suspects but a particularly shifty family of wood chucks are also known to be operating in the area.  Whatever the assailant, they did not miss much.


Crop failure.  Man, I feel like a real farmer.

Sorry about your crop fail, but your new fence is lovely.
