Hi Vodkafan,

yeah, until I was asked by a customer to make the hop field I had no idea what one looked like either!

In real life, you have upright posts that are around 20-30 feet high, with several tension wires running across at different heights to add support.  The actual plants do grow straight up in huge columns.  It's almost like having a massive vineyard type trellis, but with the "vines" growing vertically rather than being trained to grow horizontally.

Always nice to know where beer comes from!

Hope this helps!

John

And I see you even put the wires in! Good stuff. Welcome to LAF by the way.
