I went for a run this morning, and noticed loads of wild hops growing by the side of a road.
I'd really like to try making some beer with them, but don't know when they're ready for using, how to prepare them, whether they'd be suitable for bittering or aroma etc.
I noticed most were fairly small and green, while some others were larger and appeared to have a bit of brown colouring coming to them.
Can anyone give me a few pointers on the best way to proceed?
Thanks
Dave
