I suppose I'll just have to accept that a bit of mutation is a fact of life. <br /><br />I did briefly look into how many Fuggle clones are out there but "Fuggle N" and "Fuggle 37" didn't seem to have the exitement of Goldings.<br />Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13844169940650659196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2558050635605413616.post-17587855288612645212017-08-16T18:19:45.881+01:002017-08-16T18:19:45.881+01:00Just passing by here again, I noticed the comment ...Just passing by here again, I noticed the comment about Redsell's Eastwell. That refers to an Eastwell clone selected by Wye when they were trying to get clean viroid-free propagation stock in the late 1980s. They took it from the farm of Tony Redsell, the doyen of Kent hopgrowers who was a major force behind getting the PDO for EKG. <br /><br />I've also seen reference to a Nottingham clone of Eastwell, which I assume was selected at Sutton Bonington in connection with the work they do for the Burton brewers, but I'm not sure. I see you've discovered Calais Golding! :-)qqnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2558050635605413616.post-35505966772787262862017-06-21T21:37:53.425+01:002017-06-21T21:37:53.425+01:00Fascinating.

It did have that Golding's spiciness, but I doubt I'd be able to pick it out from any of the other clones and Whitebine/Mathon is the clone most different from the others. <br />And thanks for pointing out the mistake, it's always best to have someone else doing the proof reading.

So measuring minor components relative to beta-caryophyllene means you end up measuring what proportion of the oil is substance X (which is more relevant to the overall flavour of the oil); otherwise you're just measuring whether a variety produces a lot of oil or not (or produced a lot of oil in that vintage).<br /><br />And since I came here via you getting picky on typos, I have to point out that the table should say farNEsene...qqnoreply@blogger.com
