    Has anyone grown Neomexicana hops?

    I have been cultivating Neo in their Native habitat for 5 years. Hopsteiner has been in touch with me and said I am possibly the largest private collection in the USA. They also indicated that these hops have not done well outside their natural environment. But man o man they will rock you world...

    So who's brewing this weekend?

    I'll be brewing my 4th batch of beer using a single hop variety neomexicanus. Because my end game is to establish the brewing characteristics of the hops I grow, that are an unknown so far as data, I use the PicoBrew system so I can achieve precise duplication of the brew. I use a session...

    Has anyone grown Neomexicana hops?

    I live and grow Neomexicanus in the valley from which the Neo Rhizomes were removed and sold. We have a 7 foot freeze line. It is common for the temperatures to drop below -13. The year I moved there it was still snowing on June 2nd. The snow started again September 5. The hops vines had June...

    Has anyone grown Neomexicana hops?

    These are pictures I took a few minutes ago of one of my Neomexicanus fields. These are all Neomexicanus, no idea how many accessions. 1,2,3,4 and 5th year growth, we have been adding to the collection for 5 years. Our DNA lab will be arriving in November. That should help greatly with...

    This is what 384,000 Neomexicanus seeds looks like

    Attached is a climate comparison I did between Yakima and Amalia. Our days of sun are amazing here. So far I have only seen aphids on one vine. I assumed it was due to overwatering (these don't like to stay too wet). But now that I have done more research on the essential oils and have found...

    They were dried at 70-75 degrees F. for 3 days in a very well ventilated dark room, vacuum packed in mylar bags, then shipped overnight on ice to the lab. They are extremely oily. And extremely fragrant. Taos Mesa Brewing has used these in several different brews and competed with them at GABF...

    I am sorry. I just realized that there are pages of comments. (I rarely visit the site because I don't usually have time) so I just noticed that there are page tabs at the bottom of the screen. Until this morning the only comments I had seen were the ones forwarded to my gmail account...

    That is why we do not sell seeds or rhizomes. We are keeping these isolated in their native habitat until we achieve consistency, seedless cones and know what we have. To do anything else would be premature and perhaps a bit irresponsible?

    They are for breeding purposes. We have Neomexicanus hops growing all over our ranches. These seeds are collected from a wide selection of hops vines (more than 50). We are planting these in a "test" area. It will take 2 years to determine whether they are males or females. It will then take...

    Who does progeny testing? Also, I am thinking about setting up my own lab. Can anyone tell me what equipment is needed to run the following tests: Alpha acids (%) Beta acids (%) Cohumulone (as a % of total alpha acids) Colupulone (as a % of total beta-acids) Moisture (dry matter, weight...

    I know. But since they are related it doesn't really seem odd.

    Still here. Our males are relocated to "manland" a ranch across the mountain from ours. We know we have years of work ahead of us to develop these girls and get consistency. But the unique flavors we are getting make it worth it

    This is what 384,000 Neomexicanus seeds looks like

    This is what 384,000 Neomexicanus seeds looks like. We will be planting seeds at 4 different ranches in Amalia NM, in addition to layering and propagating from rhizomes from the 300+ vines we already have in the ground. I hope we get a lot of girls from these seeds. We expect to have some cones...

    Has anyone grown Neomexicana hops?

    Neomexicanus is from New Mexico (hence the name). It grows naturally in elevations of around 8100-9000 feet. The growing season is 4 months. Amalia NM is where the hop named "Amalia" was harvested. For comparison, I have created a Climate Statistic chart comparing Yakima to Amalia...

    Humulus Lupulus Neomexicanus

    Hi, I'd like to introduce Amalia Hops, LLC hailing from Amalia, NM a location where Neomexicanus is now being cataloged and identified on our Ranch. Taos Mesa Brewers in Taos NM have been using the hops from our ranch for nearly one year now and have brewed an amazing Cross Eyed Ale using hops...
