[COHO] COHO Group Brew... & free hops!!

[Huntkng@aol.com]

Hello group,
 
While we are brewing tomorrow, if we can find the time, I have an elderly  
friend who has a side of his garage covered with hop vines and a good amount of  
hops.  If some of us want to slip away for 30 minutes or so he has offered  
us all the hops that are growing there.  I was thinking that we could cut  down 
the vines, load them in my truck, bring them back to the brew site and  
harvest the hops there.  This would help him out tremendously as he is to  old to 
tear down the vines himself and we get some wet hops.
 
If this interest you E-mail me and I'll make arraignments to get  into his 
yard.  Bring clippers, I'll have a ladder.
 
Brett and I found another spot in Bend with a 60' long x 6' high row of  
hops.  We gathered a bunch.  I picked 6 one gallon bags stuffed with  hops to the 
top[ and we never touched what is there.  I'll try and organize  another group 
to get the rest later next week.  I have been vacuum packing  them and 
putting them in the freezer.
