Hey Jason, this is Kurt from Gold River Hops. I’ve grown a lot of hops but have never brewed. This looks fun. Contact me through email. [email protected]

Sure, what can I do for you? I’ve got Cascade and Columbus vacuum packed in 4 oz packages. Give me an email so we can talk. Kurt at GRH

Thanks for the good words! I’m out of Centennial but have lots of Columbus and Cascade left. I’ll still be sending out generous amounts of previous year’s crops for free with each order. Please help me empty my freezer so my wife will love me again!

Hey there, everyone. As I posted at the beginning of August, my hop yard looks great this year and I seem to have escaped any pests or issues with our forest fire smoke. I'm harvesting and packing Columbus, Centennial and Cascade and will have them all available in a week or so. I'm charging...

Hello Everyone! So as I get closer to harvest in my hop yard, I've decided how to offer my 2021 hops to Home Brew members. I will have a large crop this year, probably more than 100 lbs and they are vibrant and healthy. I have Centennial, Cascade and Columbus and have already sent some...

Hey everyone, I sent some Centennial and Columbus to Elliot in Chicago and haven’t gotten feedback yet. Too early. But I have an awful lot more from 2019 and 2020. This year looks to be great too. I think what I’d like to do is presell this year’s hops at normal prices ( I don’t know what that...

Thanks everyone. Just to be clear. Mine are all dried then shrink packed and frozen. How long do they stay viable? I’ve got crops from 18, 19 and 20. Any body want some?

Thanks for the input. I’ll look into a high nitrogen fertilizer. My yield has been great however. I have picked, shrink wrapped and frozen my crops and have about 1000 oz stored from last year. The bines are vigorous this year. I’ve contacted many of the local small breweries and they all want...

I have been growing Centennial, Columbus and Cascade hops in Southern Oregon for 4 years and am wanting to establish a market to sell them. They are extremely healthy, aromatic and have been grown with no fertilizer or other chemicals. I would be happy to ship samples anywhere for free, just to...

I'm a retired physician in SW Oregon delving into growing hops for the first time. I have 120 bines; 60 Cascade, 30 Cenntenial and 30 Columbus. My field looks great but I have two questions. The Cascades seem so much more vigorous than the other varieties. Reason? I have a very difficult time...
