I live near an old mining community (abandoned in the 1920's when the mines shut down), and while hiking there the other day I found some hops growing. No idea if they are truly "wild" or a left-over from the mining days.
Regardless, I thought it would be neat to use them when I brew this fall, but I have no idea what variety they might be. Is there any way to determine that and/or approximate the IBU's?
Also, if I was going to try to dig up some rhizomes for transplant, what's the best time to do that - Fall or Spring?
