Harvest



So it appears i have been battling it out on the football field so much this week that i have had time to harvest and dry my hops, but have had no time to inform you all about it. i harvester one ounce of wet hops on last monday, the tenth, and dried them out. my methods for drying were a bit... unconventional, to say the least. seeing it as i had no screens laying around my house, i took two tables the same height, put pvc pipe across them, and laid weed blocker over the gap, anchoring it with drill guns and their batteries on either side of the tables. (as pictured above) so yeah. i have some hops in the freezer, not hardly enough for a full batch though. my dad's employer also does some homebrew, so we're thinking about giving some to him to see what he can make. i plan on harvesting again very soon (school starts monday :( , and that will hopefully be the last harvest, seeing it as they are all looking big enough, but are they dry enough???...
