Hop drying

Thanks to my good buddy and neighbor Bob Silva I currently have six pounds of Cascade hops drying on screens in my garage. (I knew those screens on my windows were good for something) Drying should take about two and a half to three days in this almost 100 degree weather. After drying I figure I should still come away with 3/4 of a pound of usable hops.
Bob's plants are still producing cones and perhaps we'll get another bag full in a couple/few weeks. Hmmmm.....seems like a time to brew up a batch of Harvest ale doesn't it? Terri just got home from work and suggested we sit in the garage to enjoy a beer and the view. One thing is for sure my garage has never smelled better.
