NOTE: With the economy as it is, the HBD is struggling to 
meet its meager operating expenses of approximately $3500

subscribed to the HBD sent in a mere $5.00, the HBD would
be able to easily meet its annual expenses, with room to 
spare for next year. Please consider it.

Subject: Male Hop Flowers?

  I noticed a few of the these little (about BB size) flowers
on my Chinook hops last year but noticed them on my Cascades
this year. They may have been around on both but I just didn't
see them. Has anyone else seen this? These are on female hop
plants and I am getting normal female hop cones on the rest of
the plant.

Everything I have found on the internet indicates that the male
flower develops in early June and the female a bit later. I don't
see any evidence of any cones going to seed so I expect it is just
an anomaly but was wondering if anyone else has noticed this or
has additional info that may explain what is going on. I haven't seen
anything on any other varieties I grow just the Chinook and
Cascade.

Subject: Brewing Science Classes

Anybody familiar with any type of listing for brewing science classes?

I don't mean the LHBS stuff, I mean more like what Siebels or UC Davis does, 
for those of us that have jobs and can't take the time to do the weeks and 
semesters long full time stuff.

I have seen the MBAA stuff in Wisconsin, and Siebels and UC Davis, but I am in 
PA, and am searchng for something I can do either on a night class deal or 
online (I prefer the classes, I am on of those that learn better that way).

I know this is a long shot, but you never know unless you ask!
