      Evening
      
      I know its a bit of a long shot, but I saw this growing in the hedgerow near a B&B that I stay in - can anyone identify what sort they are from the leaf and the cone or do I need to just pick and hope..??

      There were quite a few, and possibly 2 different types.
      
      Also, when are they classed as ripe..? These didn't feel papery, more waxy at the moment
      
      Cheers

      Almost impossible to identify hop variety by sight as far as I know. As to when are they ready.....leave them until they feel papery and seem dry . They will spring back into shape when squeezed (keep checking every few days, you'll see what I mean).
