On my newly acquired allotment I have a hop bine. The allotment was vacant for what I imagine would be a few months, so I was wondering if anyone could tell me if I need to prune it/whatever. I intend to make beer with the flowers.

The common hop does not produce hops of sufficient quality to make beer.  Do you know what variety the vine is?
