Title: Hop Plants
Post by: Uncle Joshua on February 28, 2012, 10:37:05
Does anyone know anywhere in West Yorkshire where I can buy hop plants? I use a fair amount of hops in my brewing so it would cut costs if I could grow them.

I think one would do unless you have a brewery!!
I've a Golden hop but I do not think it is any use for brewing?

Most beers are brewed with two or three hop varieties so having a few plants gives you more options.  I don't think Golden hop is any good in brewing but could be wrong.

Thanks for the links goodlife.  :)
