What hops to grow

[deanac19738]

Ok guys n gals question time. I have got room to grow 2 hop plants in a shady yard. At the mo i just do the coopers kits lager bitter. I want some hops that i can add to both just to give something different, be gd if i can use the same hops in both lager n bitter kits.I dont want to get into the science of the hops just looking for them to add a little something to my kits . Whats my choices ? ty

I'll leave the type of hops to the folks in the UK. I grow Cascade and Centennial here in the US.

Keep in mind, it will take about 3 years before you really see any usable crop to harvest.

As far as the type goes, you could try adding a single type of commercial hops to your kits and seeing what you like. Me personally, I'd want Goldings and Fuggles for starters.
