ive hade my vine now for five years strong. i was wondering if anyone else grows golden nugget and how it reflects the out come of there beer. for me i find it gives my beer a nice even balance
thats about the only 2 things i could find about the "golden nugget." i have also used gurney to order a casscade, that didnt do so well. anyway i grew my vine from a root clipping and got about the same description that was provided by gurney. thatnks for all the info.
alert, alert, since nobody can make heads or tail of this i am offically renaming the "golden nugget", Tarheel Gold. any public refrence to the use of Tarheel Gold must do so with verbel expressed hate to DUKE
And one final "Find" - Also copied from another website
"I did a search, sent an email and here it is from the horses' mouth:
Hi Bob! According to my Grandfather The Golden Nugget is a cross between Pasture Gold they brought from Germany when he was a little boy in the 1800s, and some Nugget styles they had back east over 100 years ago. My Grandfather and a German friend of his who made beer used to grow them on our farm north of Detroit . I brought back some of the roots when they tore down the farmhouse and have been growing them successfully here in Pecatonica , IL for a few years. They only get about 12 feet high, and have smaller cones, but the aroma is spicy.
I dont use any chemicals, insecticides or the such. But we are at the top of a continuously windy hill, and I have plenty of cow manure. They seem to grow well. Never get fungus, sometimes get a few insects, but the spicy aroma is unique. Even the leaves have a golden tinge to them. We won the Top Prize at the Winnebago County Fair. I also grow a row of Oregon style Nuggets nearby. I dont make beer. I am a garden farmer."
