The Hop Harvest 2014 (Fuggles & Target) Part 2

The dehydrator has done it's stuff lovely with the 1.4kg of Fuggles Hops, and they are all packaged up in 50g zip lock bags, ended up with a total of 269 grams of dried Fuggle Hops.

The Target hops have also been picked from the bines as well now, 1.5kg of cones in total, these have also been dried now, 329 grams ready for brewing, again packed in 50g ziplocks.

The dehydrator was set at 50'C and the hops dried for around 11-12 hours. They lost around 80% of their weight in drying which I think is about right.

So it's just the Golding (Redsell's Eastwell) and the Challenger hops that still need to be picked, however these two plants are all wrapped up in each other so I may end up with a Golding/Challenger mix all in one bag, I'll soon see when it comes to picking time maybe this sunday.
