hops for brewing
hello,
does anyone have any ideas where dh could get hop rhizomes, to grow hops for brewing? he has been on a promise from several people & that hasn't worked out, & has had no luck online but for u.s. sites etc (which is obviously out of the question). i had a look too as i am a bit of a better searcher, but i couldn't find anything either. he goes to a brew shop where they know him so something might work out eventually but i think this is more of a gardening/growing thing, not a brewing thing. it is a little frustrating. everyone seems to have had them in the past, even my dad grew some! any ideas welcome!! thanks. kylie |

Ain't Google wonderful, just put in hop rhizomes as the search term, select search pages from Australia, search and wham bang 540 hits in 0.09 seconds. |

hops for brewing
Kylie, I will have plenty of hop rhizomes for sale on eBay soon, most of them are still dying back and will not be ready for a month or so. I have Goldings, Tettnanger, Wurtemberger, Golden Cluster, Columbus, Pererced d bougogne, Tardiff d bourgogne, Chinook , Hallertau, Hersbruker, Pearle and just a few of the hard to get Cascade. Some of the above will be Jumbo size. My eBay name is Cannabaceae, I will put a link here to auction when main lot are for sale. I will check out tomorrow to see if any cultivars are ready now. Contact me at: rupertjw-AT-iinet-DOT-net-DOT-au ...which is hopefully a spam bot proof way of writing it Rupert.

(i'm really trying to NOT get involved in the whole hop malarkey just atm.) ta again kylie |

(i'm really trying to NOT get involved in the whole hop malarkey just atm.) ta again kylie If you are growing hops for the first time, it is a good idea to start with several varieties to find out which will do the best in your own back yard. Hops need a long day to grow successfully (best achieved south of the 35th parallel for viable comercial yields), temps are less critical. However, Hops have been grown successfully in the south of W.A., in the Adelaide Hills, Victoria and NSW. There are brewers with successful yet small yielding crops in Qld. It does not seem to matter about the quality of light so much as the length of daylight available. Hops are native to many parts of the world and different varieties have been found growing anywhere from desert locations to 7000 ft. elevations. I have an experiment underway which seem to indicate that a small energy saving lamp in the blue spectrum (highest Kelvin temperature) left on over night shining on the base leaves may be enough to extend the daylight in higher lattitudes to produce flowers (cones) or greater yields. Will try to set up better experiment (with controls) with grower in Queensland next season. As for which brews, I usually describe the cultivar in as much detail as possible, with added terms like: "Predominantly a bittering hop (high alpha hop) but with interesting aromatic qualities" "Very fine or noble aroma hop" "Dual-purpose hop with a good combination of balanced bittering and highly acceptable aroma properties" Will let you know tommorow what is available, it's to wet at the moment to be digging up rhizomes Rupert. |
