The hops are ready to be picked. When dried, I'll got a good 2 oz out of the Chinook, a little over an oz of Cascade, and about a 1/4 oz of Centennial. You can see the yellow lupulin at the base of the flowers.
I'm am using a food dehydrator to dry the cones. I set it between 90 and 115 for three hours. I'm going to make a harvest IPA.
I'll use a store bought hop for bittering and throw in my hops for the flavor, aroma, and bittering hops.
