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

Once mine a growing I will repost here and see who is keen for cuttings.

Hi Ryan or anyone,

I am keen for any rhizomes that are for sale.

Cheers

I would be guttered if people on here were selling danscade (or the other named varieties that I have been associated with) as they were all sourced and provided free (ex gratia beer not included). When I harvested my danscade rhizome I shared a dozen around only charging freight.

If people were to make money, then Dan should be getting royalties! :)

LOL Hi

I sent some more out to six people the other week only asking a donation, they were all over generous with their donation, much appreciated!

Hi Dan,

Is there any chance you still have any left? I would be very happy to give a donation to receive some.

Cheers

I thought your approach was tops Dan.  I've got no problems donating a few bucks to recognise the time, effort and cost of carving up your plants and sharing them with us.  Asking for a donation left it totally open for me to give as little or much as I want.  Perfect.

Got my rhizomes in pots on the deck.  Looking forward to seeing them break ground.  I presume you want to keep them damp but not wet and as warm as possible?

Maybe give these guys a try William, they have smoothcone in their catalogue.

Thanks Ryan I have dropped them a line so will see what they come back with.

[Hamish Jones]

I have about four varieties, if your interested a German of places unknown but have brewed with it its low alfa but made for an alright Alt, I have smoothcone and sticklebract and an English chap I got off Joe which is a bit juvenile to split but should be good to go in a few more months once it starts shooting,

They'd fit in a $5ish bag from NZ post if your interested in some rhizomes

[William]

Hi Hamish,

I'd be very interested in a couple if you are willing to part.

Could I please try sticklebract and give the german a go?

How much are you looking for, for them? PM me your details if you want.

[Hamish Jones]

Not looking for anything mate other than to spread the hoppy goodness, will PM you once I have got some Rhizomes ready to go which should be a in a couple of weeks once I get around to digging some

[William]

Awesome thanks for that mate.

In your opinion should you plant hops in pairs or is it fine to plant one of each variety?

I only have a small patch at home(residential) where I would like to have different varieties if possible but also have access to a lifestyle block that I have been given a fair amount of space if I need to keep them in pairs.
