Hops Growing in my yard.

[lwlampy]

Can any of you help me figure out what kind of hops I have growing in my yard? They were here when I bought the house and would like some help on finding what kind they are. Any info would help. Thanks

The best thing to do would be send me a pound, and we'll go from there

I had a similar issue, i took some of the fresh hops to our club meeting and they helped me out. Turns out they were cascade---or so we think.

I have no idea what they could be but your pretty lucky to move into a house with a hop plant full of cones. I would try a lighter beer with them to let the hops show through and then maybe you could figure out what they are.

I have about 3 big mounds of them growing and I tried to facebook the person I bought the house from but got no reply, I'm thinking they are nuget but not real sure, I've seen a website you can send a sample to and get all the info on them except what type they are, I might try it. I've never tried them in a batch yet, gonna try some this year and dry and freeze as much as I can. They are very aromatic, my wife thinks theres a skunk around all the time! lol

Three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, good school system, and huge hop plants in the back yard. SOLD!

Were you brewing before you moved. Or did the hops force you too

I started after I moved here, I did a small tabletop batch from a kit about 24 yrs ago and never got back into it untill about three yrs ago. I have'nt used my hops in a batch yet, I always bought a beer kit that had the hops in it, gonna give it a shot soon though.

Tell me how it turns out. And maybe send me some hops to test too

 

[lwlampy]

I might do that. Still need to find out what kind they are.

 

[lwlampy]

I just ordered 8 more hop plants, gonna expand my hop garden! This time I know what they are!

FREE- try em out with a light profile beer and see if you like em. If so they are "house strain". As long as they make good beer, that's all that counts.
