Hop Harvest 2007!!!

The bounty from 1 of the 5 hop vines planted from FreshHops rhizomes in late May in the fertile compost primarily from grains & hops from the A to Z Brewing kitchen. I think this is a decent yield for immature vines, next year they should be coming out our ears! Hope to use some in a recipe soon, boiling some in water for a tea right now.... will let you know how it turns out.
