Hop harvest 2021….

[Fab Foodie]

….is complete!
From 1 bine, 2380g from me and @Hill Wimp for not looking after it at all.
Our first harvest from 2 bines was 60g! Our last from 2 was just over 3kg, so we did well this year.
The collection from over 180 sites across Deal is now in the hands of Tide and Time brewery to make a range of beers throughout the year for ‘Deal Hop Farm’ starting with the wonderfull Green Hopped Ale on the 7th of Oct.

A great community cause, a wonderful local brewery and all for the love of beer

Excellent.

there was a section on country file Sunday just gone on hop farming, I didn't realise they grew so damn tall

do you just have a couple of vines in your garden?

is the commercial arrangement beers for hops?

Looks like all the profits have been squandered on branded hoodies for the VIP hangers on.

Sadly not that good a deal, but we get some at discount AND we have an Octoberfest!!

Ace..

Very important crop.

You'll sleep well now.

They grow wild here, in fact there's a rogue that keeps popping up unbidden in tunnel one.

Needs cutting bad quite often.

And do smell quite 'erbal'

The bines are hefty, and strong too, aren't they??

 

[uphillstruggler]

looks like a decent amount, do you keep any for yourself? Ive added some to the home brew kits when ive had them, i use the kits as i dont have the patience for the whole brewing process.

Where do i get decent hop seeds from? i have an allotment (stop laughing) and am looking to grow something around the two sides that have a fence.

also, looked at the brewery website, may have to talk a colleague into going to fetch some and getting it sent up

My new word for today: bine. Ta for that.

Methought typo for vine (which it might also be perhaps?). Living and learning with @swee'pea99

Good stuff Fabbers. When it's brewed do send some

Alice Roberts likes digging up old bines.

On a related joke, my mother in law (English) moved up to Scotland in the 80s and started work in a butcher's. One old lady came in and asked for "Aboot 3 poond 'a beans".
My MIL had no clue what she could possibly mean, surely she didn't expect to get beans in a butcher's?
"Aye, the beef beans" the old woman said, "Airchie alwa's sieves the beans frae the beef, fer makin' soup!" (Bones).

Anyway, bine pronunciation aside, a fine harvest FabFoodie, and here's to your beer. 👍
