Actually have that book. Here is a lesser known hops fact I picked up in Hops 101 Yes there actually is one. They used to use women in Bavaria to pick the hops but it became unbearable for the men working there when all the women would have the same menstrual cycle. Seriously! Then only men wore allowed to work in the fields.

I planted three varieties of Hops for home craft beer making. When I decided to go a different way it was virtually impossible to get rid of the Hops. Took three years to eradicate them. Tried everything including flame. Holy smokes they are resilient. I traded the Hops with a group of home brewers, a non cash transaction if you will.
