This grain to glass video will show you how to grow hops in containers and use them to homebrew a pale ale in under 4 months. Technically, it's a ground to glass video with homegrown Chinook hops.

🎶 Fresh Hopped Vol 1 Lyrics:
I’m a first-year hop, called cream of the crop.
My lupin, in bloom again, so don’t go busting my chop.
Cause I’m fresh off the bine wet, dripping, and hot.
My bitterness will get you tripping with the acid I drop.
I Got Flavor, aroma, a one-stop-shop.
Put the oil in the boil just to make the wort pop.
Yea you thought I was rot, but I can’t be stopped.
Let’s get fresh-hopped!
