Hop harvest 2021….

Ace..

Very important crop.

You'll sleep well now.

They grow wild here, in fact there's a rogue that keeps popping up unbidden in tunnel one.

Needs cutting bad quite often.

And do smell quite 'erbal'

The bines are hefty, and strong too, aren't they??

Tough and enduring buggers!

I was just about to say love the hat!

looks like a decent amount, do you keep any for yourself? Ive added some to the home brew kits when ive had them, i use the kits as i dont have the patience for the whole brewing process.

Where do i get decent hop seeds from? i have an allotment (stop laughing) and am looking to grow something around the two sides that have a fence.

also, looked at the brewery website, may have to talk a colleague into going to fetch some and getting it sent up

We got our bines from the project, no idea where you buy them otherwise. They’re a a Rhizome that look like a stick, you plant them horizontally and with luck something happens, once going they need little care apart from stringing-up, harvesting and cutting back!
