Homegrown Hops

So we were greeted with a nice little surprise from one of our customers when we returned to work on Thursday.  A customer of ours had grown his own hops, and knowing of my interest in beer making, brought by a bag full.

This is my first experience with raw hops, so I did a little research and set up a “drying table” in the basement using an old screen door.  I set up a dehumidifier next to the hops and have been stirring them every 12 hours or so.
