Hops have been growing wild in Eastern Europe (Russia) for thousands of years. They've been farmed for around 600 years. Any guess as to the type of hop that grew/grows wild? What commercially available hop would be closest to it?
I have a pound of those. I was wondering what they were. Thanks for the information. Guess I'll try them out.Serebrianka? Failing that a noble variety such as Czech Saaz, which is both Eastern European and very traditional.
I would assume mostly low AA% and noble-ish in character, but I haven't got too much to base that on (other than that high AA% is mostly a result of modern selective breeding, thus most traditional hops tend to be low-ish AA%).
