So I've been on the lookout for a wild plant for the last few weeks as they're easier to spot once the cones are on. Seems that ErikTLupus has been better at finding them than me. Well, that changed tonight! I got about 3 wet lbs. from a plant that I've passed by about six times in the last couple weeks and just noticed tonight growing up a power pole guy-wire. I left the top 10 ft. on the wire because I couldn't get it down. Good thing my screens were empty because they filled them up. I'm guessing 1/2lb.+ when dry. They smelled pretty citrusy for a wild hop with decent lupulin and nice cone structure. Too bad I broke all of the bines trying to pull them down and probably won't have any way to dry any more before the rest(probably another 3/4lb. dry) brown out on the bine.
If anyone is in the area and wants in on these I'll direct you to where they are and maybe even bring a ladder to help pull down the rest. They smell good enough to me to be worth the trouble if you're adventurous enough in your brewing or just appreciate free hops.
