Fuggles and Goldings are certainly aromatic hops, but I would not have called them noble hops. Am I wrong in thinking that term applies largely to the classic continental varieties like Saaz and Hallertauer? BrendanH 14:33, Apr 8, 2004 (UTC)
By "regulated", does that mean it's illegal for any ol' [American] consumer to buy, own, and grow hop? What does it take? How is the fruit and is it safe? lysdexia 23:47, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)
The "Harvest" section was ripped off from The Mirror (source Project Gutenberg). This is not a copyright problem as this issue was August 25, 1827 so it is public domain, however all the same it should be cited. Also that whole section is quaint and rather dated, as hops hasn't been picked by "women and children" for quite some time, etc. NTK 04:36, 4 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Do hop bines grow counter-clockwise in Australia? -- Daniel11 10:01, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Certainly not. Growth directions in plants are genetically determined, and not influenced by centrifugal force. wkr, Paunaaro.
Well, look at the beer section. hops produces resins made up of 2 acids... and it is gonna give a bitter taste to the beer? Search for "alkaline" and "acid" and they will tell you that acids are sour while alkalines are bitter. Please check and correct the page pls!
Hi
What they are talking about are the alpha acids which are organic compounds that give a bitter flavour to the beer
- the flavour is definitely bitter
- the compounds are definitely called hop alha acids
The reason for the naming of the compounds - we would need to get someone with extensive organic chemistry to answer this point.

Someone appears to have tampered with the destinations of the links in the biological-classification box near the top of the article: for example "Cannabaceae" goes to the topic of "stability". Perhaps someone who actually knows what he's doing here can fix them.f
Can anyone tell how the hop plant grows in natural habitats, e. g., woods? Does it develop twines on the ground? Thx, wkr, Paunaaro
can someone please explain what part is what on the hops diagram from the 19th century. (on the previous page) i would know but the book its from is in latain and i can't read it. can someone who knows there hops plant help please?
Could someone help with moving the relevant parts of content from here to the new species article Humulus lupulus? This page here, "Hop (plant)", could also be moved to " Humulus" or to "Hop (genus)" to clarify the article's scope, IMO. The history and uses specific stuff is only related to the Common hop, not to all species of Humulus. These parts also need some review/rewriting afaics, so this could be a good reason now :-) -- :Bdk: 17:29, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
Much of the material in the section on cultivation appears to be copied verbatim from this source. Although the source is old enough to be public domain, it would be better to cite it appropriately. Unfortunately I don't have time now to work out the exact citation of the original (as opposed to the website I linked above). -- The Photon 17:12, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
I find it odd that the use of hops in brewing is the subject of a separate page. There is a great overlap between the articles and the duplication may lead to confusion. I suggest that use of hops in brewing should be a section within this article. Does anyone have any comments, or suggestions why this should not happen? Thanks for your consideration of this suggestion. Weydonian ( talk) 22:03, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
I agree that merging would make a rather large single article and that the two shouldn't be merged, perhaps the relationship between the two articles could be made more clear. If they remain separate articles and the Hops article is only about the use of hops in brewing, it should be renamed "Hops (brewing)" or "Hops (flower)" and Hop (plant) should be considered the main article. Matt ( talk) 17:33, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
Sorry to have opened a can of worms, but I'm pleased there is some agreement of the need for rationalisation. Unfortunately, it's become a bit complex for me, as I'm just a user of hops (mmmm!) and do not have the botanical expertise to conduct this merge. Hopefully some of you can come to an agreement about a way forward. Thanks very much for your constructive opinions. Weydonian ( talk) 21:40, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

There is a page on hop diseases that was pointed out to me by User:Million_Moments this should surely be linked to this page. I will look at finding out more on hop agronomy and add a section on modern commercial hop farming.
