Wild hops ?
Wild hops ?
Just been out with the dog and discovered these, I'm pretty sure there hop vines but thought I would just check with some experts.

Re: Wild hops ?
they sure look hoppy
remember where they are and return at the end of the season to crop some. being wild they are an unknown quantity
so you may have a great new find or you may not, if they work, you only need to dig up a few inches off root rhyzome to grow a clone at home

Re: Wild hops ?
Just hope no one else has there eyes on them, I've walked past them for years but until I started brewing just over 12 months ago i just had no idea, I won't get past my self so if I do harvest them I'll be back for a recipe
