A plant that when harvested, yields hops that can then be used to produce beer. Hop plants can be planted in a growing zone or a hydroponics basin.

Sowing hop plants requires a minimum growing skill of 3, but any colonist capable of plant cutting can harvest them.

Raw hops are not edible and are only used to make beer. Brewing uses 25 hops, and produces 5 wort, which is then fermented to make 5 beer.

Pro brewer's tip: The beer-fermenting process takes 6 days, so maximizing production makes sense. A single Fermenting barrel can hold up to 25 wort at a time, making units of 125 hops an ideal production target. This, in turn, means growing multiples of 16 plants (growing zone 4x4) is optimal, producing a full barrel of 125 beer each run. (16 plants x 8 hops each = 128/harvest, leaving just a small excess each cycle.)
