This is my first season harvesting hops (2nd growing season). I have read lots of articles and posts on when to harvest and have an academic idea. However I am a bit visual and was hoping someone could share picture of ripe cones. The picture below is a couple Cascade cones. Is the amount and color of lupilin about right or will they get more ripe? I tried the % dry weight test on my Chinook and am at about 14% so it would seem they need more time. I read 23% is a good goal. What works best for you to determine harvest time?
