Cleaning the hops flowers before drying them

Cleaning the hops flowers before drying them
These were some of the hops growing in my back yard, planted

generations ago by someone who used them in their cooking. The vines

return every year.



They are not a very strong variety, though the smell strikes me as a

good one to use in my beer, if I ever get around to brewing again.

They probably need more hot weather than we had this summer to produce

a stronger aroma.

My nephew is making a batch of beer next week and I am going to try to get these to him. I'm looking forward to drinking beer flavoured with my own hops.

Twenty-odd years ago, I used to make all my own beer, putting down a few batches every month. I used a lot of local hops then, grown by a friend of mine. His were wonderfully strong, clearly a different variety from these. But the flavour here is a good edgy kind of pungent. Just weak.

Good idea. Perhaps a mix of boiled and dry.
