As far as hops go, forget the Cascade hops and stick with the German hops and use only a bittering addition...
I can't give you the exact recipe, but I'll give some tips...

This is an old post but given the time of year I feel a reply is appropriate.
As far as food dehydrators go - commercial hop farms dry their hops with
140*F air. No significant lupilin degradation has been found at temps <180*. The biggest problem associated with home dehydrators is the...
First, I noticed that youre from Cleveland yet you fly those puke colors? Interesting ;)
