With over 3,400
members, we are the
largest and best Internet
resource
about growing your own beer ingredients -- barley, hops, and
brewing-herbs!
Mature
hop plants will usually
yield from 1 to
2 pounds of dried hops per plant
each year.
We focus on
the combined interests of gardening
and brewing beer, including related
topics such as how to malt barley and how to identify and
use 'wild' herbs. Grow-Hops
has many features 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.
You're also invited to visit my
specialized Yahoo group dedicated exclusively to 'Brewing
Equipment'
(RIMS/HERMS,
kegerators, mills, etc. -- currently with 1,400+ members),
...
and my website about our
'Homebrewers' international
grid computing team that helps search for cures
for diseases such as cancer (so far we've
donated over 322 YEARS
of 'continuous' computing
time), ... and my 'Learn Science by
Brewing Beer!' website (still under
construction). This portal increases
our search engine visibility, so please use it's 'url' for any links
you post to Grow-Hops. Finally, if you're interested in my project to
promote laws requiring grid computing education in our schools, visit 2plus2is4.
Thank you. Please tell other
brewers about us!
