Re: Awsome!
I went to the local hop farm and got some green Target hops. Just done a brew of Dave Line's Bottled Guinness using all green hops and a "standard bitter". Now awaiting the outcome. I also picked up some dried hops from the oast so further experimental brews to follow.
I also have some Goldings in the garden (not cropping too well this year) and used these in a "Russell AK" recipe from the "Shut up about Barclay Perkins" site. First tastings are excellent.

Re: Awsome!
Very positive indeed! I also got some 'goldings' from a friend they smell amazing and are wild, they had a huge smell of Garlic with them!!
Re: Awsome!
I managed to to obtain 2 bin bags of hops on vine from Freecycle, was told their Golding hops and pretty sure they are too.
I got off what I could as a lot was already browning or gone. Dryed them in the shed over weekend and managed to get 433g of dry'd hops
Now sat in fridge in a sweet jar,
So planned a few brews already
Even better she said If I want them next year I can, and she said I can have a rizhone to grow them myself.
Awesome
Very happy
And that wasn't even a request for them, she reply'd to me offering grain.
Might have to put out a wanted ready for next year
