WUERTTEMBERGER Alpha acids: 5% Beta acids: 4% A 17th century German Hop. Originates from Wuerttemberg Swabia (around Stuttgart). This is a very old and rare cultivar, which has been genetically improved by traditional agriculturalists, but has not been influenced by modern breeding practices...

This is quite fascinating a red Chinook! I have bred two hops that had initially red cones, only one of which had a good aroma. It is red as an immature cone but the red fades right out when full size, see pictures. Immature Cone: Mature size 'red' cones with smaller reds circled: Ask 'Wolfy'...

Hi Guys, I have enjoyed looking through your hop pictures :) Found some very early burrs yesterday on a 'red' hop I have bred, unnamed as yet, referred to as 'red' because of its young red cones ...they slowly go to green when full-sized. Plant is in its third season and these are the two...

Sandy Ross of Hopco Pty Ltd has stated: "Vienna Gold was a fancy name invented by Max Cleary from Australian Hop Marketers. A customer wanted to make his beer sound more fancy so they simply renamed the hop that was in it. That hop was Cluster." Sandy Ross Managing Director Hopco Pty Ltd...

These caterpillars are very hard to spot, they are very small initially and match the leaf colour perfectly. Here is a mature one that I caught chomping on my hop, I reckon it is around 50 times the size of the little ones. I checked my leaves for the source of the mysterious damage many...

Henno, You can definitely plant now, I have found the cones tend to appear later than usual and it dies back later as well. If you plant very late in the summer, the plant will still grow but wont produce any cones. However your rhizome will grow much larger for a good size crop for next...

Hi Kenny, I am in WA and will be digging up lots of hop rhizomes soon and I would like to sell them all ;) Rhizomes then will have their labels tied on and after thorough washing they will be placed in damp coir for storage in my coolroom. They will then start going up on eBay auctions at...

Lochy, Thanks for the sulphur tip, I do like the idea of using predatory mites, (the spraying was a bit of a chore.) I got a price of $50 for 5000, (which was the minimum sold). I will try these next year if needed. Neem is supposed to work mainly as a growth regulator, so works slowly...

It is going well, though had a spider mite problem, I used emulsiied neem oil at 10ml/litre. I keep a close eye out for them with my jewellers loupe x20 mag, so I can hit them early. Here is the Chinook the first one to finish with a Hersbrucker coming on in the background. Same Chinook lower...

No risk, it will make your cones a little bigger and you get a tiny amount of extra lupulin on the seed coats. Let it pollinate all your cones this one time, then rip it out and grow a female in its place. Check out the picture in the paragraph titled "Seeded vs Seedless hops" HERE: Scroll...
