Hop rhizomes

[James P]

Hi All
(Hopefully I didn't miss a thread here, I searched first!)
Just wanted to see if anyone has rhizomes available this year? I hear there is a shortage, however if there are any suppliers anyone knows of I would be keen to given them a go!

Maybe we can get a list of suppliers going? I see in the old forum that Stephen @ Hallertau may have been one of them, any ideas?

Cheers

Brett. Your thirst for Danscade has now been quenched. I have some very healthy cuttings that I can trade for some Sticklebract.

 

How do you know for sure that your plant is indeed stickelbract though? I'm intreagued.

there is a nursery in nelson

that sells sticklebract for 5.95 plus postage,they also have another variety called aurea but as far as i can tell its just ornamental.

 

has anyone brewed with sticlebract? what is it good for?

Sticlebract? Ornaments, soaps and tucking in your pillow to help you sleep

I threatened to get Heather hop plants for Christmas so she could make a hop pillow.

The girls thought it was a sneaky plan for the brewing empire to extend out of the garage into the garden and whinged and whined heartily ...

I love it!!!!

Yea, but they don't realise that I have no inclanation to grow hops - but it was worth the wind up

[Brett Mason]

Awesome! Thanks Jo. I'll PM some details for when they are ready to send.

 

I got all my hops through trademe so I'm taking their word on it for all of them.

[Adrian Hayward]

Jo, what would I need to do to secure myself one of your Danscade cuttings??

 

Unfortunately I suspect you have all the hop varieties I have, therefore can only trade beer.

[JoKing]

Beer sounds like a pretty good deal to me!

 

We're away on holiday this week - so I'll sort it out next week.

 

Cheers.

Danscade, and another couple of named varieties now have 6 acres on the West Coast of the SI to grow wildly... gotta love parents retiring and going hippy. Their neighbours like the idea of setting up a small scale brewery next door, with some "consultancy".
