The Hop Grower's Handbook: The Essential Guide for Sustainable, Small-Scale Production for Home and Market

Bought this book with a desire to grow hops. Very good book, but made me realize how difficult and unrealistic it would be for me to attempt to grow hops. If you live in the southeastern US, maybe think of a different hobby.

This is an interesting book but it should be called "The US Hop Grower's Handbook"; it is disappointingly very US centric.

Very good read. Stimulating for the aspiring hip grower. Anything you wanted or needed to know to get the ball rolling with hop production is included in this book. I'm planting a 1/2 acre of hops this spring and after reading this book I feel much more confident.

good information. Set up for commercial growers but you can use the information and scale it down for home use.

My husband said this was the best book that he found on scaleable hops production for the hobby grower to the large scale producer. Very informative and great photos. The binding and photo quality was really nice too.

I just started but, what I have read. I am enjoying the read so far.

Old book, reprinted. But was able to use some good advise from if.

Best book I've read on growing hops, period. It's amazingly helpful in just about every regard. You have all the basic knowledge you'll need to grow some damn fine hops here.

A very good book with a down to earth understanding of the main hop varieties around the world and key players in beer production.

Very comprehensive and in depth. This book will suit the back garden grower up to a commercial operation. Excellent pictures too.

Excellent - read it all over a weekend.Well structured book that starts with both a 'where she's come from' to put everything into context and a good general history of hop growing (mainly US but I found still relevant for UK)). Starts with their experience of 05.-1 acre but then extends out to explain what was/is required for them to extend into the 5acre+ grower. Covers the manual processes and the steps,options and costs of auto processes. Don't worry - she also covers the pleasures of growing hops !For me a great investment as it has veered me AWAY from launching into a venture discussed over many evenings wearing rose-tinted beer goggles.

This reference is a great guide for those planning on growing hops a d for this who are already growing an dplan to expand. Lots of information on the plant, its needs, soil preperation, insects, disease and options for managing these variables. There is also info on harvest and processing the hops. All helpful information to a farmer

Well written with lots of info
