Offered Hops (1 Viewer)

[JohnnyRaz]

I have two hop plants in the garden, (chinook and sunbeam)

I used to give them to a neighbour who was into brewing, but won’t be this year as he’s moved.

Anyone interested? You’d have enough for a brew from the chinook… less from the sunbeam

Be picking them in oct most likely

Coming along.
Surely one of you food/pickling nerds can find away to use these

can you put hops in cider?

I’d say you probably can.
Should be at their peak mid-late oct

If nobody else is gonna take em I will - haven't done any brewing in ages, but this'd be a good incentive to get back into it

i'll pass, thanks - thinking of taking thurs off to do the juicing of the apples so the hops would be too late for me.

Depending on the crop I can hold a few over for you to dry for next year??

@egg_ cool - I’ll let you know when I’m ready to pick them

If the weathers dry this week, I might pick these this weekend…
Not sure if you want these to use fresh (wet hop brew) or plan to dry them.

I could conceivably post them, the biggest crop I’ve ever gotten has only been about 300g wet weight.

Hadn't really thought that far ahead tbh. Probably use them fresh? Posting sounds cool, unless you live near Slane
