Hi all, Just started brewing again after a 10 year hiatus (and wondering why I ever stopped).
Anyway, I'm doing my brewing up at my farm in the Otways where I've discovered hops growing wild down in the creek at my neighbours place.
He's been poisoning them along with the blackberries, but I've managed to grab a fair amount of roots to plant around at mine.
I've been chatting to the previous owners and the consensus is they where planted around 3 generations ago so I guess they are a pretty old variety.
Is there any members out there with a talent for identifying hop varieties? I've brought a few ziplock bags with roots in sawdust back to Melb and would be happy to post to anyone who thinks they could help. I understand I'll have to wait until they grow and flower before I'll get any answers.
if anyone has the skills and is interested please PM be with an address and i'll post out a bag
