Hop. Humulus, hop, is a small genus of flowering plants in the family Cannabaceae. The hop is native to temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. Hops are the female flowers (seed cones, strobiles) of the hop species H. lupulus; as a main flavor ingredient in beer, H. lupulus is widely cultivated for use by the brewing industry. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humulus)
Hop. Humulus lupulus is a PERENNIAL CLIMBER growing to 6 m (19ft 8in) at a medium rate. It is hardy to zone (UK) 5 and is not frost tender. It is in flower from Jul to August, and the seeds ripen from Sep to October. The flowers are dioecious (individual flowers are either male or female, but only one sex is to be found on any one plant so both male and female plants must be grown if seed is required) and are pollinated by Wind.The plant is not self-fertile.
It is noted for attracting wildlife. (http://www.pfaf.org/user/Plant.aspx?LatinName=Humulus+lupulus)
List of varieties. here are around 80 varieties in commercial use around the world today (2012), and considerably more in development/trials. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_hop_varieties)

Herbal use. Hops have tonic, nervine, diuretic and anodyne properties. Their volatile oil produces sedative and soporific effects, and the Lupamaric acid or bitter principle is stomachic and tonic. For this reason Hops improve the appetite and promote sleep. The official preparations are an infusion and a tincture. The infusion is employed as a vehicle, especially for bitters and tonics: the tincture is stomachic and is used to improve the appetite and digestion. Both preparations have been considered to be sedative, were formerly much given in nervousness and hysteria and at bedtime to induce sleep; in cases of nervousness, delirium and inflammation being considered to produce a most soothing effect, frequently procuring for the patient sleep after long periods of sleeplessness in overwrought conditions of the brain. [...] An infusion of the leaves, strobiles and stalks, as Hop Tea, taken by the wineglassful two or three times daily in the early spring, is good for sluggish livers. Hop Tea in the leaf, as frequently sold by grocers, consists of Kentish Hop leaves, dried, crushed under rollers and then mixed with ordinary Ceylon or Indian Tea. The infusion combines the refreshment of the one herb with the sleepinducing virtues of the other. (http://www.botanical.com/botanical/mgmh/h/hops--32.html)

Young shoots, tops - eat. We find the Hop first mentioned by Pliny, who speaks of it as a garden plant among the Romans, who ate the young shoots in spring, in the same way as we do asparagus, and as country people frequently do in England at the present day. The young tops of Hop used formerly to be brought to market tied up in small bundles for table use. The tender first foliage, blanched, is a good potherb.

Komló szaporítás. Tavaly végeztem kísérleteket vadkomlóval április közepén. Nagyon szépen gyökeresedtek. Viszont termesztésre nem ajánlanám őket. Mivel ilyenkor még az sem biztos, hogy milyen nemű komlót találunk a határban. A komló kétlaki növény azaz vannak hím- és nőivarú egyedei. Minket pedig csak a nőivarú egyedek érdekelnek. Május elején aztán kaptam egy barátomtól ezzel a módszerrel szaporított komlótöveket a saját kertjéből. Több helyre ültettem őket. Az egyik tövet az erkélyen egy cserépben növesztettem. Meglepő módon a rövid tenyészidő és a cserepes termesztés ellenére már az első évben is elég jó termést szüreteltem róla. Nedvesen 200g Cascade-ot tudtam leszedni erről az egy tőről.

Komló termesztése, receptek. Komlócsíra-saláta. A fiatal hajtásokat apró darabokra vágjuk, megmossuk, sós vízben puhára főzzük. Szitán leszűrjük, lecsepegtetjük, sóval, borssal, olajjal, ecettel, csipet rozmaringgal, ízlés szerinti szurokfűvel salátaöntetet készítünk; a komlócsírával összekeverjük, 10-15 percig érni hagyjuk.

Breeding hops. The second method of producing a new variety is by mass selection. In this process you would cross many plants, either in a controlled or uncontrolled fashion. Controlled means you know both parents. Uncontrolled means you don’t; you just cross plants, test the results, and cross your fingers. Examples of hops coming from a controlled program are Nugget, Olympic, Chinook, Centennial, and Cascade. Some uncontrolled offspring are Eroica and Galena.

How to breed hops. I got to see what hops look like when the cones don't grow in bunches like grapes, as some plants had them spread out along the stem. And I saw a striking example of the variation that hop breeding can bring about. There are two plants in this next picture, which share the same parents, but have very different sized cones.

Growing hops. The hop is a hardy, perennial plant that is easily grown at home, provided sufficient sun and climbing space are available. The hop produces annual vines from a permanent root stock known as the crown. Vines can grow 25 ft high in a single season but will die to the crown each fall. The crown also produces the underground stem or rhizome. The root-like rhizomes sprout numerous buds, which are the key to propagation.(http://www.morebeer.com/brewingtechniques/library/backissues/issue2.3/montell.html)
Cultivation. Hops require deep, rich soil, on dry bottom, with south or south-west aspect - free circulation of air is necessary. The ground is generally well pulverized and manured to considerable depth by plough or spade before planting. Hops in Kent are usually planted in October or November, the plants being placed 6 feet apart each way, thus giving 1,210 plant centres to the acre. The plants are usually set in 'stools' of from three to five, a few inches apart. They are obtained from cuttings or suckers taken from the healthiest old shoots, which are usually planted out closely in nursery lines a year before being planted permanently./ Very little growth takes place the first year. Some planters still grow potatoes or mangels between the rows of the first year, as the plants do not bear much till the second year, but this is considered a mistake, as it exhausts the ground. / As a rule, the plants are not full bearing till the third year, when four to six poles from 14 to 18 feet long are required for each stool. The most used timber for Hop poles is Spanish Chestnut, which is largely grown for this special purpose in coppices in hopgrowing districts. Ash is also used. The poles are set to the plants in spring, before growth commences, and removed when the latter are cut away in autumn. The plants are then dressed with manure, and the soil between the stools stirred lightly. Much of the Hop-land is ploughed between the rows, but it is better to dig Hop-land if possible, the tool used being the Kent spud. (http://www.botanical.com/botanical/mgmh/h/hops--32.html#cul)
