Hopefully someone out there can help with an issue I keep having while drying my hops.
I just picked my Willow Creek hops and am in the process of using a food dehydrator to dry them. They started out with a great, fruity aroma but now I'm only getting fresh cut grass!!
I've got the dryer set low (about 90F) and the cones are still slightly wet.
Where is this smell coming from? Did I pick them too early??
This happened to me last year as well with my Cascade and Centennial hops.
