Looks like they're harvesting hops at different times of their harvest window and 'expanding' their utility? https://www.farmhousebrewingsupply.com/german-amarillo-lemon-candy-4-oz-2018-new-hop/. Also some folks are renaming existing varieties due to terroir...

The seeds actually develop at the base of the bracteole. The bracteoles are formed in pairs and are protected/covered by a single bract. Just me I guess?

Triumph is a hop that was released by USDA last year. I got a pound from https://freshops.com/ last year and made an IPA with them. My take was that they were a little fruity and maybe a little bubblegum. Thinking they may work better in an amber and maybe some sort of lager?

If I had to guess, yours looks more like a nutrient issue. If you search for 'interveinal chlorosis' you should find some good pics that you can compare. The reddish lesions also look like there may have been some leafhopper damage early that is causing the chlorosis to take on another...

Two possible things, the mottled flecking looks like it might be some sort of virus. The other thought is the possibility of some mites which really like hot dry situations. You may need some magnification to see them but they usually hang out on the under side of the leaves and if they're in...

Where did you obtain the plant or cutting from?

And this is exactly the reason there are plant doctors, lol!!

Just let the sidearms do what they want. If you train them there's a good chance they'll be shaded and would prefer to ripen with good access to sunlight. Tiny cockleburrs are actually called burrs and the spiky growths are pollen receptacles.

Huh? Got to meet Charlie P at one of their meetings back in '91 or '92. Dennis Holland pictured 'mug-up' in the background when he brewed at Great Lakes in Cleveland, lol!! https://growlermag.com/now-open-or-damn-close-boomtown-brewery-woodfire-grill/

I've not brewed with it as the raspberry character has lessened since my initial notes were taken and the oil profile hasn't really improved enough to make me want to brew with it. But, it has really good vigor and is very structurally solid from a morphological perspective along with a...

It was 007 (aka Rex) x Chinook. Funny thing, I used him in a cross with Brewers Gold a few years ago and none of the seedlings showed any shortened internodes? Peter suggested that the Chinook may have had the controlling gene since she has UK Golding in her pedigree which I guess is where...

Not a geneticist but the cross I grew out last year produced all dwarfs (maybe 100 once the smoke settled). Both Peter and a researcher at Steiner told me it was a 2 gene system. One gene is the controlling gene and the second one actually does the expression (as long as the first one is...

Stop in on the 20th: https://neocraftbrewerynews.com/2019/01/21/collision-bend-to-offer-higher-beer-education/, will be pouring two smash beers brewed with Ohio bred hop varieties, should be interesting!!

Same thing happened to me on my move back to Ohio in 1990. That first year, one didn't get planted and spent the entire growing season in a 5 gal bucket. That fall, I ended up tipping the bucket up and cut the roots with a pruning saw and replanted, no issues. And technically, they aren't...

About 15 years ago I was forced to dig up a crown to make space for another variety. The plant I dug up was fine and I didn't want to just trash it so I dug a shallow trench to bury it in and covered with some ground up leaves. The next spring when I dug it up to make cuttings from for a...

Here's some info that may help you out: http://www.uvm.edu/extension/cropsoil/wp-content/uploads/jason-presentation.pdf

Pretty sure Sunbeam and Bianca came from Dr Al's program during his work to create a suitable replacement for Tettnang for American growers. See the comments at the end of this link: https://www.ars.usda.gov/ARSUserFiles/2450/hopcultivars/21698.html

Everything I've learned over the years has stated that it needs living tissue to remain viable so technically, you can leave the strings up over the winter. This is not advisable though because nature has ways of taking advantage of just about any situation that comes along to enable her to...

Actually, if you zoom in you can see the sooty mold started in the upper portion of the pic. Those are done but hopefully you've learned a lesson, start scouting early and be ready to treat immediately once you do find some. Unlike other pests, aphids are capable reproducing insane amounts of...

Back around '88 or '89 I was living in Upstate NY and met a fellow who gave me some cuttings, one of which was CRV. A few years later I ended up meeting Al Haunold out in Oregon and he asked me to send him some cuttings that he could grow and then perform an oil analysis on to determine the...
