HTH. >> >> ESL! >> > > As an indicator of soil and climate, almost certainly. > (Almost everybody settled land they were familiar with.) My point being that if one lives in an area historically settle by Germans, there's a fair liklihood of finding wild hops in your area for your brewing needs. Locating such, and the legality of collecting same are the one's own responsibility, of course. OTOH, some people live in areas where they can reasonably grow their own hops, but YMMV as to the practicality of doing so.

"Srb subscribed to a theory of great antiquity concerning the foundation of civilization, a theory beyond proof, but sufficiently within the bounds of possibility to merit endorsement. Civilization depends on stable living conditions for populations of some size that will allow them to build, invent, coin, keep records, and stock supplies for making war. Civilization in this sense is not possible for migrant populations, that is, populations whose staff of life is roots, berries and wild animal carcasses, the search for which keeps them eternally on the move. Civilization is the offspring of the invention of agriculture. But why did man take up agriculture? Not to allow himself to build, invent, coin, keep records, and stock rocks. That could not be foreseen. No, the invention of agriculture was to save men trouble in collecting the wherewithal for making beer. And when he drank beer, which he liked to do, Srb relished the thought that he was secretly preserving civilization." < Alexi Panshin, _Star Well_ -- tinmimus99@hotmail.com smeeter 11 or maybe 12 mp 10 mhm 29x13 A hopeful thought to carry with you down the toilet. < _Gravity's Rainbow_
