Firstly please understand that I'm not an avid gardener, in fact I'm not a gardener of any kind ! Having said that since I started brewing I've always wanted to try growing hops. This even after reading somewhere that growing hops is gardening, not brewing. I was fortunate to be able to source some hop rhizomes from Llew of the Worthog Brewers in Pretoria/Johannesburg. 
Llew was gracious enough to bring these down to Port Elizabeth for me yesterday, so today they will be temporarily planted in a plant pot until I have prepared my garden for them. See the photo above of the rhizomes I got.

See the photo above of the rhizomes I got.Llew also had a look at my brewery and tasted both my mild and stout. As a certified BJCP judge his comments were invaluable and I will be making some modifications to my recipe based on them. See also the photo of the stout label.
Checked the gravity of the lager again yesterday and it was at 1018 so my guess of two weeks was a bit shy.
