  1. Spotted this rather pretty climbing plant, working it's way up a telegraph pole.

    Big flat sawblade leaves, pleasingly shaped. No idea what it was.

    iNaturalist thinks it's the Common Hops Humulus lupulus. The Beer Plant! 🍺😄

  3. The Glacier hops I'm growing are getting quite tall now. This one has reached the roof which is about 25 feet / 7.6 meters and it still wants to go higher. In past years I had lines going up to the peak of my roof which is probably another ~8 feet / 2.5 meters higher and they would get up to it.

  5. The hops are starting to get fairly tall. This photo was taken out of my second story window, so it's probably close to about 20 feet / 6 meters at this point.

  7. I keep forgetting I ordered 3 pounds of #hops on clearance at 2 am and whenever I get one of the ten thousand shipping updates I am so delighted. Highest entertainment value I have gotten out of $4.50 in ages

  9. CW: extreme discount on hops

    Pre-2024 hops are $1.50/lb at Northwest right now. Sharing for anyone else who is scheming bulk pain salve mutual aid projects. Or big into home brewing I guess?

    I have a plan🤩
    This hop vine has finished climbing the first pole and has now reached the second. I will try to guide it down to the bottom so it can start climbing the third pole 😏
    Just a plan 😃

  13. Went into Green Muse the other day to chat with Anna about herbs and she made such an interesting point about pain salves.

    They are hard to stock because a lot of them rely on plants that are endangered/unsustainable (cramp bark), closed practice (devil's club), toxic (aconite, various nightshades...), or regulated as drugs (cannabis). And pain medicine that is not reliably in stock is kind of pointless.

    Made me love #hops even more 💚

  17. Denne humleplante is quickly outgrowing its temporary support pole. I can't do any heavy lifting for a bit because of my recent surgery. So, it's time for a bandaid to extend the pole to about 2 meters high. This will, hopefully, buy me enough time until I can get my real hop poles put up.

  19. Glacier hops have made quite a comeback after I weed whacked them to the ground on the 1st.

  21. New zine! Not about beans!

    This one has my recipe for an herbal pain-relief salve with hops, the one I use for endo and ovarian cyst pain. You could also use the instructions to make other salves with different herbs. As always, wishing ease and rest to everyone in pain today 🌱

    I got a hop plant🤩
    Not exactly sure what I will do with it yet, but a friend gave it to us, so I will figure something out 🤔
    Since I won’t be brewing anytime soon, I will look into other options beyond hop tempura🤔

  25. I’m doing a disinfection boil on my brew system in preparation for the brew day. Hopefully my brother will visit and help out with the brewing. Today’s brew will be a smash lager with Swedish malt and a recently rediscovered Swedish hop variety.

    It won’t be a regular lager, but I’m hoping it will be tasty at least.

  27. 1.4kg wet Perle hops becomes 315g dried. Vacuum packed and going into the freezer. Destined for Helles, a Dortmunder Export and maybe a Scwharzbier and/or a Rauchbier.

  28. Harvested my hops this weekend. Gladly got nearly a bucket full out of it again, after the plants needed some recovery from the neighbour spraying weed killer along the fence line a couple of years ago. My 'Fuggle' (the variety) smells wonderful!

    Should have harvested a week earlier, though ...

  29. 1.4kg of Perle hops. Drying these is more of a challenge. I really need to make some screened frames.

  30. So usually herbal salves are a cream / beeswax colour, but these Hüll-Melon hops make everything suuuuuuper green. This is only 1/5 hops oil!

  32. Big day, big day! I decanted my #hops extracts. Five varieties infused in oil, since I know I like how the oil works medicinally, and one alcohol tincture just to try. They smell *fantastic*

  34. More hops-posting... I found one (1) herbalist who tried hops topically for general pain and found instant relief. Soothing muscle cramps (including menstrual cramps) is a fairly common use and why I was experimenting with hops in the first place, but I am surprised to not find more discussion about nerve pain, tendonitis, joint pain, etc. Much like this person, so far I have found it works on a lot of things. Neat.

  36. Question for #homebrewing and #hops nerds: what are your personal picks for best-smelling hops? I have a new love for using them in medicinal oils and I really don't know varieties
