elbowcrookerI was just checking how my First Gold hop plants are doing when I spotted this comma butterfly sunning itself on the wall right next to them. And guess what its caterpillars like to eat. Clue: it ain't egg-and-cress sandwiches........

Éloïse Shifa DoğuştanA bit of -yung- leaf morphology Hops growing rampant on brambles, I really like these kinds of entanglements. At first sight, one could mistake one plant for the other, as leaves show immediate similarities. But looked closer, here are some differences and shared characteristics you can easily spot: Shape: A hop leaf is usually palamtely 3-lobed. It means that a single leaf contains three divisions in the shape of a palm (think of a duck palm or your hand), spreading from its base. You can see it easily on the picture: One leaf with three lobes. Blackberry leaves are compound leaves: They often occur in a composition of three leaflets, but it is not a leaf with three parts. It means that these are three different singular leaves, that are displayed or arranged together by three. You get it? Margins: Both hops and blackberry leaves margins have these small irregularities, called serrations: like tooths of a saw. Serrate leaves are also a characteristic shared by most plants from the rose family (Rosaceae), which Blackberry is from (not hops. By the way hops comes from hemp family (Canabecaeae), same as marijuana, that's why it smells the same, try to crush a leaf or the cone when it's season). Back to rose family: Next time you see an apple tree, plum tree, or strawberry plant, have a closer look at how the leaves look like: you will see the resemblance and witness the family connexion between the plants. Veins: These are the thin lines you see meandering on the leaf. They are transporting water and nutrients through the plant. In both hops and blackberry leaves, you'll observe a pattern of a central axis with a bigger vein, from which secondary veins are growing both sides. It looks like a feather, and it's called pinnate veins (btw pinnation is an arrangement that occurs in other natural contexts). <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/humuluslupulus?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#humuluslupulus</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/hops?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hops</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/rubus?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rubus</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/blackberry?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#blackberry</a>

Jeff SmithRiwaka after drying - 140g this year vs 80g last year. And there is still that less mature and smaller bine that I might get to harvest. Likely bringing it up to 2X the harvest in year two of growing these. When I split the rhizomes and can grow maybe three sets of bines I’ll be in fantastic shape for Riwaka. Now to keep nurturing my Wakatu, East Kent Goldings and Perle. Might need to plant in a new area if they keep being this successful<a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/hops" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hops</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/Riwaka" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Riwaka</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gardening</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/beer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#beer</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/HomeBrew" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeBrew</a>

Jeff SmithLooks like more than twice the quantity of hops as last year. Won’t know until I finish drying and then weigh them. But having to pick them earlier before this storm comes through means the cones are smaller and while they smell great when I rub them, they won’t be as full aroma and flavor. But that’s better than all brown, beaten and useless if they get abused by the wind. This photo is last year - the hop cones are definitely larger<a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/hops" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hops</a>

Jeff SmithHalf a 20L bucket of hops before the rain started. Picked all but one small, and still not quite ready, bine and now onto racks and into the dehydrator. More hops than I can fit in a single batch so spreading them out on other racks. Time to make some racks out of window screen probably. I’ll have to go check my notes but this seems like nearly 2X the yield of last year. <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/hops" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hops</a>

Jeff SmithI probably need to harvest these Riwaka hops tomorrow. Would be ideal to wait another day or two but we are supposed to be getting some rain and wind. Better to harvest a little early than lose them all. Already lost one of the bines due to wind a few weeks ago. This will still end up being enough for a batch of beer. <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/hops" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hops</a>

Jeff Smith スミスI’m thinking to try to make hop water. Never tried a commercial version so don’t have a point of reference, but the idea of sparkling, slightly hoppy water is appealing. I did do a water kefir with some hop tea once and it didn’t really work - I didn’t get it hoppy enoughBrülosophy and More Beer articles seems to have some good ideas. Anyone else tried making this and have any pointers?Also thinking to make a hop tea and mix that with Japanese cold barley tea. <a href="https://mastodon.beer/tags/HopWater" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HopWater</a> <a href="https://mastodon.beer/tags/brewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#brewing</a> <a href="https://mastodon.beer/tags/hops" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hops</a>

Black-Eyed KatydidI haven't tried as many hop waters as the wirecutter reviewer but my limited sample has led to the same conclusion: "There’s hop water, and then there’s Hoplark." (if you actually like the flavor of hops and want to be able to discern them, with no extra ingredients) <a href="https://shakedown.social/tags/hops" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#hops</a><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-hop-water/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-hop-water/</a>
