Wow!

Looks like it is a good time to be in or getting in growing hops!

Scary part is what it the big macrobrews decide to start doing IPAs

I think I'll pull out my mom's herb books and look for other plants with high myrcene content.

Anyone dry hop with lime leaves?

I'm all for this:

However, many of the varieties now in vogue fall in the same narrower window. In addition, an increasing number of brewers would like those hops dried less efficiently, at cooler temperatures and not piled as high in kilns, because that preserves more of the hop oils responsible for aroma (and by extension flavor).

Howsomever... we know how to make a dang good IPA. So, that being said, we are not reliant on them.

That is, actually, a very good thought. There may very well come a day when we - as home brewers - will have to supplement our hops supply with those that we grow ourselves.

Now all I' have to do is convince LOML that I need a portion of the garden.
