3 Story Hop Harvester and Pelletizer

This video blows my mind. I still can't believe that there is this kind of infrastructure on a farm. I mean, it makes sense, but wow.
If you got a little lost in the video that's fine. This video is more for the visual appeal and grandeur of it all rather than a thorough explanation.
There are amazing farmers doing amazing things all over this world. It's good to get out everyone once in a while and check them out.

Whole lot of rotten red cones in that drying bed. As well I see a TON of stem cuttings in that last shot of moving/elevation belted hops moving to the oast house. Would have liked to see closer on that floor to see if that same amount of stem/arm cuttings were left in that hop. Nice footage, thank you for taking it and sharing.

Your footage was so crisp. What a fascinating process. Thank you for sharing it. ~Smile!

Thanks Ciecie

[@sunflowersnbluebirds7362]

Outstanding video! Thanks!

[@sandracoble7065]

watching this makes me amazed that beer doesn't cost more than does. lots of overhead involved even before the brewery. Can't imagine the man hours if done by hand.

[@farmmarketing]

I think a bazillion-ka-gillian hours if all done by hand.

Wow that's exciting to watch. I wonder if my hens will eat hops lol:)

[@tinag2226]

That was great, Thanks for the tour. Can you show the next steps at the farm? Blessings!

[@farmmarketing]

The next steps on that farm for the hops? The hops are harvested, baled, and then pelletized and put in boxes. The next steps are brewing beer and drinking it, which, I can make a video of us brewing some beer if you like.

[@tinag2226]

Yes John, Brewing On your farm. You've shown us everything else, how about a cold drink. LOL! Blessings!

I can't imagine picking all those cones by hand. That was some compost pile.

[@techedfireman4981]

Must have smelled amazing in there.

[@farmmarketing]

It was pretty good indeed

[@fouroakfarm]

Wow this is nuts thanks for sharing. Is the product freeze dried at the end?

[@sandracoble7065]

amazing

[@1mtstewart]

does the out back foliage and stems get composted? It looked like there was plenty of brown out there around the fresh stuff?
That would be a major nitrogen score for a carbon match up at ten to one!

[@dkans]

John, Do you know any simple methodology to estimate hop bitterness (A/A %) without sending a sample to a laboratory for analysis?

[@gregoryalbright]

And, how do you harvest the hops???
