Found Wild Hops, Now What? [pics]

I would certainly ask around and see if any of the neighbors know whose they are and be certain they are on public property.

Recently I found a bunch of wild hops in my neighborhood. They are growing next to a river and main road. I'm sure it would be fine for me to gather them. What would be the best way to use these? How could I tell what these hops would be best used for? Any advice is helpful, Thanks! :rockin:

If they smell nice use them for aroma and/or flavor. You don't know the AA value so go for aroma, flavor.

We used this company to check some hops of unknown origin.
Gave us good info.
Good luck, brew on

Let's keep the zombie thread going! Here's what I did with wild Neomexicanus hops I found growing in northern NM.

Fresh hop camping brew, cooled in the river and US-05 pitched that afternoon.

hey that's great, done a couple camp brews myself. Usually do BIAB because I'm usually half in the bag when I get started
