Our hop plants are a little under the weather so we're giving them a natural helping hand without the use of chemicals.

Two-spotted spider mites have moved in. It was always a possibility because of the dry and dusty environment in our glasshouse.

These spider mites suck the sap from the leaves, and will eventually move onto the hop cones if kept unchecked so we need to get them under control.

Enter Phytoseiulus persimilus, a predator mite that will start eating all of the spider mites before they completely take over. Supplied by Dragonfli these predator mites are sprinkled on the leaves and should get to work over the weekend!

Only a few more weeks and we should be harvesting our very own Cornish grown hops!

🌾 Some of these barley varieties haven't been grown commercially in Britain for over 200 years. Until now...

This is the view from our trial plots, and they're already ahead of the main field! Right now, at least half are at ear emergence, the moment the barley head fully breaks through. This has come a few weeks earlier than expected, and honestly, it was a little emotional to witness today. If you had told me a few years ago I would be stood in a field getting emotional over barley I wouldn't have believed you!

So far we have ears of Bere, Odenbruker, Chevallier and Purple and Black Barley, along with multiple ears in our mixed populations of ancient varieties.

This grain is pre-industrial. It has never been bred for chemical dependency or yield at the expense of the soil, which means they're thriving under our no-input approach, exactly as nature intended.

We're not growing these for the novelty of it. We're doing this for nature, for the soil and to make something that couldn't exist anywhere else on earth.

This is what field-to-glass actually means.

We're reviving lost grains. Right here in Cornwall. 🌱🍺

Mud, rain, timber and more mud! 🌧️

Back to the brewery build! The timber wall panels are starting to go up so the spaces are beginning to come to life!

A few more weeks and the new brewery building will be watertight.

🚧 Construction Update 🚧

The new brewery building has begun to poke it's head above ground! The timber frame was installed here at the over the past couple of weeks and this is where things start to really take shape.

This frame forms the skeleton of what will become the new home of Coldframe Brewery later this year. It will be exposed on the inside of the brewery in all it's glory, celebrating it's structure and natural texture.

This milestone is the point where things really kick into overdrive, things are going move quickly now so be sure to follow along the journey with us!
