Agree. The number of people I know who “don’t” cook blows my mind. 75% of my repertoire takes less than 30 minutes of involvement to cook. It’s cheaper, healthier, and a great zen thing that’s totally different from my day job.

For those trying to get started, do a meal kit that involves cooking, and start there. Not having to buy ingredients or plan things out makes it less intimidating.

Hot and dry lol. They have to be irrigated.

What hops you should grow is more determined by your growing conditions than what you want to drink.

I live in NM, so I have two varieties of NeoMexicanus, plus a new drought tolerant variety called Vista.

I generally shoot for varieties that are hard to get new, so that’s a good fit for me.

However, if your in Sweden I don’t even know if you can grow hops outdoors. Your climate is about as opposite mine as we could get and still both be growing hops!
