Hi
Iv just decided to start growing some hops in order to make a brew. Iv always been a fan of early bird but want to grow another variety as well. I like the sound of First Gold which I reckon might go nicely with the early bird. Does anyone know any good hop sellers where I may be able to get some seeds/plants/rhizomes to start propagating? Any other advice for a first timer on varieties and growing wouldn't go a miss either!
Thanks
First Gold Hops

Re: First Gold Hops
I got a couple of first gold rhizomes from another member of this forum (awalker) earlier this year. They have both taken, but only the one in a pot has cropped this year.
I believe he will be taking cuttings again this winter, and others probably will as well, so keep an eye on this forum

Re: First Gold Hops
Ah that sounds promising! Are you brewing them with another variety or just on their own?
