Hop Harvest!

Last night I started harvesting my hops. I picked about 70% of my crop and I'm hoping for another good round of hops by mid-late September (if the weather stays nice and warm). So far I've only had hop cone production on with the Cascades, but definitely a much better yield than I expected for first growth year.

Here are some pictures:




These are currently sitting in a paper bag behind a couple computers to dry them out before using them in a brew.
