Hi,
I would like to know what use spent hops have and how can they be incorporated into a compost heap.
Have also noticed wire like creepies in there and the hops going mouldy whilst still in a heap - any thoughts?

Thank you

I use spent hops all the time.

Where are you getting them from. Mine are fresh from the boil kettle so no creepies. I incorporate them with other stuff.

Sounds like the place you are getting them from are letting them sit too long on their own.

After home brewing I usually throw spent hops with grains in a compost bin. I haven't yet used the compost.

You could use hops for a mulch. High in nitrogen I think too.
