Where to Buy Hop Rhizomes
Where to buy hop rhizomes. I have been asked over and over so I figure I would just put together a post and answer the question of where to buy hop rhizomes online. I got my 2009 hop rhizomes from a local homebrew store Northern Brewer (ordered online even though they are local – still 20 mile drive) – as it turns out, they get their hop rhizomes from www.freshops.com. You might as well go straight to freshops.com and cut out the middleman.
You can sometimes find a local homebrew shop or hop grower selling rhizomes, but generally, online buying is more convenient, better selection and you can compare shop. Don’t forget friends and other local hop growing enthusiasts, they may be willing to part with some rhizomes. Barter a couple of homebrews to your friends that are growing hops for some hop rhizomes!

What are the best kind of hops to grow in southeast Iowa?
I am not certain which hops do well in your area. If anyone from southeast Iowa can answer that, chime in. You might want to check with your local ag university or local homebrewers.

In answer to shottie’s question, I’ve Grown cascade, Northern brewer & Willamette here in the Cedar Rapids area with no problems. I assume that the other varieties will grow just as well…
I live in the south (just north of Atlanta near the mountains). The summers are brutal, which type of hop are best for hot weather? Thanks
I don’t know. I will do some research and see if I can find out and I will let you know if I find something. You might want to check at any local homebrew supply store or local homebrew club – that would be your best bet – people who are actually successful at growing hops in the Atlanta area. Here is a couple links if you don’t know where to start:

thanks for the link to the hops seller I just started my hops garden and Im looking to add a few more varieties
I live in the middle of Norway about 70km from the coast. What is the best kind of hopes to grow here. Thanks
Jens,
I am not sure what would be the best types of hops to grow in Norway. Noble hops? (European varieties). Anyway, I am a fellow Norwegian and wish you the best in you hop growing endeavor.
Does hops ( any variety) grow in the tropics?
I have no direct knowledge of hops growing in the tropics, but they are a very hardy and adaptable plant. They are susceptible to various molds. Airflow around your hop bines help to alleviate this problem as well as stripping the lower 3 feet of of the bines of leaves.
We have rhizomes freshly cut from our farm in Wisconsin. No need to pay retail price anymore.
i need to buy hops for my dad’s gout problem. please tell me where to buy and i live in malaysia. thanks
I am not sure where you could buy hop rhizomes for Malaysia – there are strict import/export rules for plants. You would have to find a source from within your country – home brew supply stores, plant nursery… If you are just looking for hop cones, I would think they should be available at herb retailers, possibly health stores or online from vendors that do business within Malaysia. Hope this helps.
Any idea what the shortest variety of hops is? I know they are all tall, but they will be grown indoors hydoponically and even just a few feet shorter than normal is a big help..
Thanks in advance for any suggestions
Not sure on the shortest hops variety. They are developing dwarf hops in England but none are for sale yet or approved for the USA. These grow 8 – 10 ft tall with about a 30% reduction in yield compared to their taller relatives. Hopefully they will be approved soon and not patented so as to prevent sale to individuals… Google “dwarf hops”
The taller varieties will take what you give them for height and go horizontal or grow back down a bit – FYI.
In the Seattle area Molbaks Garden center in Woodinville sells several different types of hop rhizomes including; Cascades, Saaz, Northern Brewer and Chinook.
I got full hops plants online on ebay from http://greatlakeshops.com. They have over 30 kinds. The full live plants are way easier to grow than starting with the rhizomes, for a little more money.
I noticed that Maybee is wondering about growing hops hydroponically. We have grown many different types of hops hydroponically. Both organic and non-organic. It’s really not too difficult if you already have a background in hydroponic hop growing. I have found that rhizomes will sprout readily in aeroponics and hydroponics. Maybe check out the website, I think my wife has put pictures of it on there.
I also wanted to let people know that Northwest Hops is now offering, for the first time to the public, potted hops. We will be supplying cascade, centennial, nugget, and golding this year. We also have special virus free (Vf) hops if anyone is interested in having them propagated.
Thanks for this!
