Thanks man. Getting good at it is just experience, keep trying stuff even if you think it's beyond your skill level. One of my favorite things is tweaking, you really hone in on the spirit behind a recipe by doing different iterations of it. Sours are pretty easy when it comes down to it, the main thing is just keeping oxygen away while they age for all eternity. I'll def post some recipes here and there, maybe post a bit about what inputs affectssours over time (e.g. I'm convinced that hops matter a LOT more than people think), and certainly will get into some info about blending. I have a lot of notes and pics to work off of, the challenge is in finding the time and energy to translate it into a post.

I'm just growing the one Centennial plant that came from a buddy as a rhizome. It's only in its second year but it's become a monster already, considering that I'm training it around the structure I've made it's got 20-25 feet of growth already. I can't put it in the ground since I'm renting, but I'm impressed with its ability to grow in a pot.

I've heard that buying plants rather than rhizomes can give you a huge head start for only a few bucks more, you may want to consider that. If you're in a southern climate too, check out Neomexicanus hops, they're absolutely delicious. In NY here for me I have to stick to more traditional varieties though.
