This is what 384,000 Neomexicanus seeds looks like. We will be planting seeds at 4 different ranches in Amalia NM, in addition to layering and propagating from rhizomes from the 300+ vines we already have in the ground. I hope we get a lot of girls from these seeds. We expect to have some cones from the seedlings group in 2017. Enough to test anyway.
We are currently establishing the brewing characteristics of each hop. A GREAT BIG THANKS goes out to Steve Haney in Farmington for brewing single Neomexicanus hop batches from the Amalia Hops Ranches for us. The first three are very interesting. One tastes like a slightly bitter melon flavored champagne. We are sending the samples out to some experts for a "taste test" opinion. We'll post the findings as soon as they come in. Cheers
