Guest Posted September 8, 2012 Author Share Posted September 8, 2012 You said at the start of your post Lagers aren't usually hoppy I did say 'usually' meaning there are exception to the rule, Urquell being one of them... there are others. Im actually just putting together an Urquell recipe... I have 7 Cubes full of APA, IPA's and IIPA's so a bit of experimentation is called for I think.. I have Styrian goldings and Willamette so should be able to come up with something drinkable. Now I just need to get a Yeast for it [alien] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ash Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Hi Yob,Got MY Cascade Hops in a pot with light wire as my supports going off,i can see why some states ban the growing of hops,it takes off like a weed.[roll] [roll] [roll] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilboBaggins Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 I've had my Chinook in the ground for nearly a month now. Should I be worried that there's no action yet? Conditions have been pretty good here, if a little on the chilly side [crying] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 20, 2012 Author Share Posted September 20, 2012 some states ban growing hops? Not heard that at all... not allowed to ship to certain states is a different story [roll] Chinook are notorius for starting late, dont worry they make up for it.. I have 3 Chinook and none have shot yet [annoyed] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 20, 2012 Author Share Posted September 20, 2012 G'day guys. I think it's really cool you growing your own hops. [cool] I was just wondering how you process them for use in your beers, & also what sort of aroma(s) they offer in the plant stage. Are they generally a strong smelling plant or more subtle smelling?

LeonardC2 Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Wow,you too?! Good to know it's not just me. I got a ton of NZ hops that were on sale at midwestsupplies.com 25% off,plus Saaz & Willamette from the LHBS from hop union. got some more cascade hops from midwest too. I'm set for a while,till I find the names.distributor of these certain hops describ3ed as being "crisp". I got a cool idea for an ale that thinks it's a lager that tastes like beers from the 50's/mid 60's. You never can get enough I suppose?...

Are they generally a strong smelling plant or more subtle smelling?[/quote'] First time grower BL, so can't speak from experience yet. You're supposed to dry the flowers and use them in the same way you use pellets or plugs, using slightly different amounts for the same result I think. Brewmate has different settings for flowers so I'll be guided by it! Brewmate [love] [love] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 21, 2012 Author Share Posted September 21, 2012 Hops have little aroma on the plant unless you squeeze the hops.. which I suggest you shouldnt do too often.. you want to save that aroma for the beer [cool] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 Thought Id dig this up with a little update, there was another thread today about hops but there is some good reading in here that could do with a bump.. I was searching out some Amarillo.. as is half the country [roll] and came across this ON EBAY, both of them offering free postage which, for those experimenting and dont need huge amounts, its a good deal. Happy brewing you Hop Heads [lol] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
