The actual growing of them is pretty easy, I think. There used to be a big hop yard here locally, which quit about 100 years ago (actually, quit after the owner, Herman Klaber, went down on the Titanic in 1913). The local brewer, on a hunch, went and scouted around the property a few years ago, and sure enough, he found some hops still growing wild, after all these years. He grew some, harvested the seed, planted more, and finally made beer from the "local" hops and sold it at the beer garden at the fair. It was pretty good.
The biggest problem is that they grow vines about 20 feet long, so when they're grown commercially, they have a lattice of overhead cables that they drop twine down from, for the vines to grow up. But for just home brewing, you could probably figure out a horizontal trellis system that would work on a small scale.
