Product Details

Grow your own Comet hops!

These Comet Rhizomes are root cuttings of the hop bine; to be planted in well-drained soil with plenty of sun and room to climb, then harvest and dry the flower cones in late summer for your brewing pleasure!

Comet hops have a pleasant blend of "wild American" and citrus aromas and neutral bitterness.  Comet carries a heavy grapefruit, citrus character, and tends to have alphas acid between 9 - 12%. Today, Comet is essentially no longer in commercial production and is somewhat difficult to find.

Important Notes:

  • Rhizomes ship directly from the supplier as soon as they are available (typically mid April). 
  • The minimum order is two (2) rhizomes. Since these are live root stock, we cannot guarantee they will grow so ordering two of each variety desired is optimal to provide greatest chances of success.
  • <Rhizomes will be shipped through the US Postal Service. Please provide a USPS-deliverable address with these orders. If you have a PO Box address and wish to order rhizomes, please include ONLY rhizomes on that order. 
  • Due to local restrictions, we cannot ship rhizomes to HI, AK, WA, or ID.
