He said this was a documented date when Flemish religious refugees started growing hops.<br /><br />I'd like to see the actual document that says "1524" - different authorities have given different dates, though "some time between 1511-sh and 1524-ish" is very probably right, and it would be very surprising it it wasn't either Flemings or their near-neighbours who were the first to plant hops in England.Martyn Cornellhttp://zythophile.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2558050635605413616.post-80692745473676700232011-11-30T10:13:14.241+00:002011-11-30T10:13:14.241+00:00A good book is "Hops - Botany Cultivation and...A good book is "Hops - Botany Cultivation and utilization" by A.H.

I asked Peter Darby for a book recommendation, but sadly the book he recommended was published 20 years ago and is long out of print. <br /><br />There is a hefty chunk of heavy hop science in The Handbook of Brewing (F G Priest and G G Stewart), and the parent company of Simply Hops (Barth Haas) do a ring bound book with more easily digestible science and details of various hop varieties. I have been told there should be a good hop book published in America next year though so that's one to watch out for.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13844169940650659196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2558050635605413616.post-29925355865065140802011-11-22T14:37:36.981+00:002011-11-22T14:37:36.981+00:00Really interesting, can you recommend any books ab...Really interesting, can you recommend any books about hops history/science?beersiveknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13293913182389157112noreply@blogger.com
