2011 Hop Harvest

2011 Fuggles
Not a great year for my hops.

Fuggles:  18 oz wet,  5.25 oz dry.
Tettnang:  6.25 oz wet, 2.625 dry.
Saaz:  4 oz wet, 1.75 dry.

One positive note on this is that my Fuggles came out pretty good this year.  Highest numbers so far for them and they were very green.  The others kind of tanked.

Here's a little graph of what I've kept track of over the last couple of years, apparently I don't have any data for the first few years.  Kind of strange.

The chart is a little difficult to read, I'll need to improve on my excel skills... but there are two numbers for each year, one for wet and one for dry.  The three different lines are the hop types. 

Tettnang took a huge hit this year.  I know one reason was that I accidentally clipped one of the vines, and the top of another one broke off early on.  Not sure those two could account for that much of a loss, but I'm sure it was a significant loss.
