No, not at the back of the freezer, actually growing in someone's garden. I was at someone's house who lives local and went through their back garden carrying stuff to the car when my nose picked up the what I thought was the smell of hops. I asked 'You don't have hops do you ?" and she said "Yes, over here" - great big vine. So the plan is to make a brew (obviously).
Going to have to go back and do a proper reccy although the garden is a bit overgrown with no clear path to the hops. I know there are male and female hops and you need the female for the cones but that's about it. As there was the smell of hops I assume this will be a female ? Loads of questions, is there a resource I can use to find out what to do ?
I assume that unless I pay for analysis there is no way to tell the alpha level of them and it will be pot luck ?
