With over 2,400
members, we are the
largest and best Internet
resource about
growing your own beer and wine ingredients -- hops, brewing-herbs,
barley, and grapes!
Most mature
hop plants will usually
yield about
2 pounds (.9kg) of dried hops per plant
each year.
We focus on
the combined interests of gardening
and making beer, mead, and wine, including related
topics such as how to malt barley and how to identify and
use 'wild' herbs. Grow-Hops(Yahoo)
has many features which are NOT available on most
conventional brewing forums; for instance, we have several
databases, including one to help identify which hops grow best in
certain
latitudes and climates, one to facilitate distribution of FREE
rhizomes, and one to exchange
whole-hops
(cones). We
have hundreds of links to
assorted hop sites,
information, files, photos, and a moderated
message board where members have options to hide email
addresses, receive daily digests,
or not receive any messages at all. Our members include hop
farmers and others with considerable expertise and experience. In
addition to our original Yahoo Group, we also have our own website at
Grow-Hops.com where we are
developing a 'Wiki'; it
has 'Forums' for
those who don't like mail-lists like Yahoo, and we have added extra
topics for growing grapes
and raising bees.
You are also warmly invited to visit my
specialized Yahoo group dedicated exclusively to 'Brewing
Equipment'
(RIMS/HERMS, kegerators, mills, etc. -- currently with 1,100+ members),
...
and my website about our
'Homebrewers' international
grid computing team that helps find cures
for diseases such as cancer (we've donated over 175 YEARS
of computing time so far), ... and my 'Learn Science by
Brewing Beer!' website. This portal increases
our search engine visibility, so please use it for any links.
Thank you. Please tell other
brewers about us!
