We've been waiting a while for this episode to ripen and be ready to pick. From the messages BTV fans have posted for us at BrewingTV.com and Facebook -- you can't wait either. Well, here it is!

We're celebrating the hop harvest of 2010 in grand style. This episode includes visits with two hop-growers, one in Oregon and one in Wisconsin.

Then, it's a very special Time to Brew. We're picking fresh hops right off the bine and tossing them straight into the brew kettle. It smells oh so nice!

all for brew, brew for all...Let's hop to it!

Very cool episode! I'm a Minnesota transplant living in Texas pondering if I should move back to the farm and start raising hops.

Great episode. I like how they only used wet hops for the late additions, regular hops for the early additions. I was a little disappointed that a preboil gravity was taken but no adjustment was made to the recipe when it turned out high. The "Missed Numbers" Sunday Session covers this and more: http://thebrewingnetwork.com/shows/630
