Free Elsasser Hop Rhizomes Canberra

[Kodos]

Greetings all, I've just replanted my hops and was pleased to discover my Elsasser rhizome was huge, so I've made some cuttings and thought I'd offer two of them up here.

Conditions are that you can come and pick them up (I'm in Narrabundah, ACT) on Tuesday next week, or very soon thereafter. (a bottle of HB or two wouldn't go astray either )

I've not had a lot of luck growing hops so far, but the Elsasser plant has given me some flowers. As you can see in the pics (if I've uploaded the pics properly), the rhizomes are pretty big and already have a few buds on them. Probably big enough to separate further if you want to share them with your friends or split into several plants.

This year I've replanted them in better/deeper soil and will give them a lot more water/fertiliser/height to give them a better shot.

don't know much about the Elsasser variety either. Supposed to be a delicate aroma/flavour type hop, google tells me Alpha Acid varies from 2%-5%, but little else. Hopefully it'll be a nice way for someone to get a unique beer!




I know I could try and sell them, but couldn't be bothered, esp since I've not been able to achieve great success with them.

[ps Cozmocraker I've still got another one for you as agreed, it's similar to the larger of the two]

French hop, lower yields. I've not tasted personally to comment on imparted flavour(s) but Id be game to try it in a saison in lieu if finding a french recipe that calls for it directly.

Cheers,

Cozmo (P......), is the cricket team ready for some 'high class flavour and aroma'...?

I did see that, just couldn't bring myself to quote "high class" when I live so close to Fyshwick...

I have seen it used in a Classic American Pilsner recipe on the old Oz Craftbrewer site (I get nervous looking around there though, I think that list is haunted since it died off a while ago h34r: )

Thanks for everyone who made contact, the rhizomes have been accounted for.

It's been nice to hear from a few AHBers along the way!
