Aussiekraut Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Just went to the closest brew shop to get some Galaxy I need for dry hopping tonight and had it in my hand, when I went to the coffee shop next to work to get a coffee. The chick looks at it, then looks at me and grins. I'm telling her it isn't what it looks like and that it really is hops. Not sure she believed me 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Journeyman Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Hops is the only plant you can splice to the one she thought it was. (and vice versa) Close relative apparently. Could be an interesting experiment one day. Merryhighjuana beer... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto Von Blotto Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 I've heard of people doing interesting things with crushed up hop flowers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben 10 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Looks and smells quite often like weed. Resinous like weed too. I laugh when i open Colombus hops or similar and they smell like skunk. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thirsty Jim Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 I used dried hops as one of several herbs to help me give up smoking tobacco. It was used additional to a base of mullein, damiana and passionflower, together with various other supplementary herbs such as wormwood, lavender, coltsfoot, chamomile, raspberry leaf, corn silks and rosemary. I would make up a mix, sometimes flavour it with some spirit, pack it in a corn cob pipe and smoke it when ever I had the urge to rip something through my lungs. It worked. I quit tobacco smoking 5 years ago and have been clean winded ever since. The hops were rather ho-hum. There was no discernible buzz from smoking it. They just gave some volume to fluff up the mix. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
