As you can see, the Nugget hops want more than the 13 feet of height I have (15 feet for the Magnum at the peak). 18 to 20 feet is optimal, but give them what you got â thatâs all you can do. I generally average over a kilo (2.2 pounds) of hop cones per rope/plant. Thatâs it for now.
Checking the Temperature. Put an oven thermometer at the center of the oven and set the oven to 350 degrees F. Check the temperature indicated on the thermometer after 20 minutes. If it's not within 5 degrees of 350, you'll need to adjust the oven's temperature control.ut an oven thermometer at the center of the oven and set the oven to 350 degrees F.

You'll get two valuable pieces of info from this. 1  How long it takes your oven to preheat to 400ÂºF and. 2  Whether your oven is indeed giving you 400Âº and not 385Âº or 406Âº. The differences are miniscule but at least you'll know if your oven runs a little hotter than normal, less hot or right in the money.
