Madreselva
In our house we met him with the name of madreselva (Humulus lupulus). In fact, we have worked hard and sinister on the banks of the river in our country, coinciding with the expansion of beer. We've learned that it's also called lobster, beer, beer, wart and grass on the left. Now most people call it hops. I do not know for the first time who would call hops; at least, I have seen in writing in modern dictionaries and nomenclatures, the oldest in the UZEI Biology 1 nomenclature in 1984 and the Álava Plant Catalogue, Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa in 1985.
The madreselva is a trepadora, does not have separate enrosses or climbers to hold it when it goes up, but it is the plant itself. It is a plant that grows far beyond the left, even up to 8-10 meters. As every year he withdraws and renews each year from the roots, he settled for many years in the fields. It stretched over wires tied to large stakes. It is a dioecious plant, that is, some plants are males and other females. The female flower is an important component in brewing. This flower usually has an aromatic resin in the form of a powder, lupulin. Lupulin gives a long life to beer, which dissolves as it is fermented and separated into two themes. These two components are beverage maintainers. In turn, they add the bitterness of the beer. We have reached the usual wheel: What's the goal? A bitter beer or a beer that lasts? I believe that, even if you love it, you would have wished for what would have lasted for some time. The work of perpetuating strains of bitten apples is also known in the quarries. In ARGIA, not long ago, Iñaki Sanz tells the story of the left-wing cider that Antonino Pagola produced in the Orkolaga farmhouse of Hernani...
To make wines with apple or grape, fruit must is naturally fermented with lemagis, etc. It's all around him. It was left, since today it is increasingly common to add yeasts to keep the fermentation of the must “under control”. With beers you also do that: cook to disinfect barley water or “must” and then add only a certain yeast. It is the way to always have the same beer from the same palate. But what would beer do before and before us? That is, when disinfection was going to cause them serious problems. I do not agree.
The day exceeds the night with the spring equinox. This year it happened on 20 March, at 22:59 hours, opening the door of the spring. The Eki prefix means the same thing. Until then the night had been longer. The day and night were twelve hours. Since then, the day is extended... [+]
Time has been on our line for a long time, but the climate is relatively recent. There is no need to clarify too much what climate change is. Explaining what the landscape is is a redder necessity. Conferences, round tables or international conferences on climate change are... [+]
It's time to pick up the fruits and get them on the way to the lagar. Pear (Pyrus communis), apple (Malus x domestica), grape (Vitis vinifera)... It seems a short and quick road, but you have to work a lot of rodeos and their variants until the fruit becomes must and must become... [+]
In the Basque Country, agriculture is the history of permanent colonization. Like everywhere. Before, the land was not cultivated; before, the harvest was not sown; you enjoyed what was not eaten before. They had brought it all from elsewhere. Many of these stories have been... [+]
Returning to the wines that are made with the crops, the left madreselva (Humulus lupulus) is conservative and bitter tasting aggregator. The union of crops and madreselvas produces many dirty jets, especially in beer countries. A friend has just explained to me the stories of... [+]
Spring has brought the issue to my nose. C. worked at various research centers in New York. Bushdid, M. Oh! Magnasco, L.B. Vosshall and A. An article published by scientists Keller in March 2014 in the prestigious “Science Magazine” produced a great stir. The title says it... [+]
The curious interannual days end, those who eat and drink from the emanations of the earth. I'll eat from the best to the best. Supposedly. Heavy champagne and cava bottles are easy to dance. Even though they are of all kinds today, they were once the cider of the other barrel... [+]
Egin du izotzak berea: azioa, txarkeria. Aspaldian ikusi gabeko izotz zuri galantak izan ditugu apirilaren bukaeran. Sator-lana baina agerian, inongo lotsarik gabe: azerikeria. Ikaragarria bota du Euskal Herriaren hegoaldean.

Estimatzeko intentzio osoarekin sagardo botila bat ireki, edalontzia sudurrera hurreratu eta botila itxita izan duen tortotxaren usaina hartzea, horixe infernua!

Kosmopolita da getozka, Portulaca oleracea. Munduan barrena hara eta hona hedatu dugu, jakinaren gainean edo azpian, eta toki askotan ondo bizi da. Noranahitarra da, eta edonon nonahikoa. Dakigun guztia bezala, ez dakigu oso ondo nongoa den. Landareez ari garenean, ikaragarrizko... [+]
Orbel kontuak ekarri ditudala paperera eta, irakurle batek hosto ihar horiek landarezaleontzat zein onuragarriak diren aipatu zidan; krixtaua zen, eta “bedeinkazio” bat zirela zioen.
