Hello B-Hoppy, Tell us more of this Le Hood hops. Was it grown from seed? What is its origins? Would you be willing to sell a Le Hood rhizome?

Would you guys sell rhizomes from certified male plants? This would help a lot as then we would have a known male for breeding with known female plants.

Thanks for all of the information. Maybe I'll get lucky and one of my plants will get stressed out naturally. What you said about feminized pollen only producing females is interesting. I did know about that. I should also do some research on that "other" plant. If cuttings become available...

I want to start crossbreeding hops as well, but I have been unable to get access to any male plants. I don't want to buy seeds off of eBay because I can't trust their information about the lineage of those seeds. When I buy seeds I want to at least know which mother plant they came from even...

Hello Papabearjay, did the seller have any information on what region these seeds were from? Are there native North America, Neomexicana, European? Either way good luck with the seeds I'll be cheering you on. Also, count me in as being in line for cuttings if you do succeed.

I have seen trifoliate in both chili and basil. What variety is the father of the Chinook, Cascade, and Sterling cross?

Last year was my first year for the Centennials and I got a small yield. I didn't weigh it so I don't know how much I got but it was enough to fit in both of my hands, so about one big handful.

It looks like my 2nd year Centennials made it. Here is a picture taken on 2/25/2014.

Here is a picture of my Centennial hops taken on 2/25/2014.

I understand. I have done some reading on hop breeding programs and it seems like hop breeding is almost like playing a genetic lottery and hoping that you hit the jackpot. I know there is science behind it that can increase your odds of a favorable outcome, but I won't have access to that kind...

I am looking to experiment with crossbreeding hops. I was a gardener long before I was a homebrewer. I am most interested in the Neomexicana varieties as those are native to the southwest. Getting to mess with new genetic material means new possibilities. Breeders now are trying to breed...

I've noticed people on the internet selling different Fuggle types like Fuggle H. Do you know what type of Fuggle you ordered? I live in Paramount which is near Cerritos when my plants mature and I can pull rhizomes we should do a swap. At the moment I only have Centennial growing.

If you ever go by this area again can you grab me a rhizome? I'll gladly pay to have them shipped. I am trying to breed new hop varieties and I am looking for wild genetic material.

I am looking for seeds too. If anybody has seeds I would pay postage to have them sent.

My favorite beer style is Porter and IPA. My number will be 51, cheers!

Wow, that's a lot of rhizomes. How old were the plant(s)? I wish I still lived in the North County area. I am about a 2 hour drive further north now.

I read your blog and I will be following your experiments. My goal is similar to yours except that I am looking to grow hops that are adapted to the southwest. I live in southern California where my hops have already sprouted. I will post a picture taken today on 2/23/2014. My starting point...

I've avoided eBay and other places because I don't trust them either. I regularly comb the forums looking for people with seeds because here on HBT people would at least know what plant they are collecting the seed from. Thus, we would at least know which variety the mother is. I still...

I have a Centennial plant that I grew from rhizome last season. It is now in its second year. I might be able to send a rooted cutting if I can successfully create cuttings from the Centennial binds. I really want some Neomexicana, Sorachi Ace, Cluster, or Magnus. I am also looking for some...

Do your hops have seeds? Do you have male plants? If so I was wondering if you would be willing to sell a rhizome or perhaps seeds?
