Home brewer from the US. Thank you to everyone who does this work! Truly incredible

[@kezdodik1]

Really enjoyed no narration. It allowed for free thought.

[@lauroneto3360]

Can you imagine the heavenly smell of this place?

[@hejdingamleraev]

Thanks for this video. It was very interesting.

[@HaikuAutomation]

Apparently there is no need for w-clips, which the industry uses. So this eliminates putting stainless or other metals into the ground and wasting money and time by reaching for a w-clip, or buying them. Nice demonstration! The two handed symetric knot tie is simple and shows well how its done. TY.

Can you imagine the beautiful smell!!!

Thinking the same thing

[@paulhadfield7909]

when i picked hops years ago in kent, i reeked of hops for weeks and every pint tasted amazing

[@MrVM41]

Amazing, wonder what hop they are growing? Citra I should imagine.

[@hopproductsaustraliaheadof3954]

Citra is not grown in Australia. Since this video was filmed in the early 2000s, it could be Cascade, Cluster, Helga, Millennium, Opal, Super Pride, Victoria or Willamette. HPA have now transitioned to proprietary Aussie hops - Eclipse, Ella, Enigma, Galaxy, Topaz and Vic Secret.

Well done on video, you should always have narrative as does the oregon hops video.

[@hvplasma]

Show, don't tell.

[@anonymous203020]

love the silence, glad they didn’t narrate

[@paulhadfield7909]

this video can be understood by anybody in the world

[@danielode1666]

fucking bounding hops like in some santa christmas movie with toys factory :D what a hoppy beer that could be if...

[@schmedlywhiplash6267]

Wellllll! I got about a hundred plus hops plants!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@danielode1666]

9:08 that's just some fucking hobbit's dragon gold or something

[@TravisHeinze]

This process will cause a massive loss of that yellow resin. How unfortunate. It's the best part of hops.

[@samson1200]

I DISAGREE TRAVIS . This is the best way to pick the hops, environmentaly and ecomomically. The hops do not loose the lupnim (the yellow stuff as you say) The hops are at this point about 85% water. If it was very Hot and dry for a long time that would have a small impact on the Lupnim loss. As in old time we picked hops at night to reduce this. Some farms still pick at night but most large farms will pick in the day.

@@samson1200 What is the machine that bucks the leaf material?

[@samson1200]

@@masonking6317 Hi Mason King, If you are referring to the leaf of the hop plant that is the fans that will blow the leafs away from the screen as the hops cascade down onto the screen to separate the leafs and stems from the hop cones.
