Thanks again, guys. I hope the video helps. I have about a lb of cascade hops I need to harvest but I can't seem to find the time to harvest them! :(

I posted another video on Growing hops. You can check it out either here: Homebrew Junkie: Growing Hops at Home - Video or here: YouTube - Growing Hops at Home - Ben's HomeBrew.com And for those interested, here's another video on harvesting hops: Homebrew Junkie: How to Harvest Home Grown...

This is a good idea. When I use my hops I'll dump some warm wort into the bag to get the rest of the glands out. Works great. You guys have some nice looking harvests!

I do 12 gallon batches but boil 13 gallons in a keggle. That's as close to 15 as I can get. It works well, too. I'd say do it.

I'm on Beeradvocate pretty much every day. I also check out probrewer from time to time, too.

I hear ya. I frequent another forum a lot. I'll be stopping by more often to offer my .03 cents. And you can always check out my other writings on my blog.

You're welcome guys. When I noticed that there really weren't any videos on the internet on how to harvest hops I figured I'd throw one up. I'm glad it's helping out. I think a lot of people harvest too young and don't give the hops an extra week or so to really mature. Have fun...

This may sound like a really dumb question, but are you sure those are cascade hops? I only ask because I've never seen cascade hops flare out on the edges like that. Mine are nice and compact looking. You can check out a video here: Homebrew Junkie . The ones you harvested look more like...

No, I'm pretty sure it was benign and not malignant. In either case, hops are poisonous to dogs, so keep them away. I'll do a little more research, though.

They were both cascade hops. One was fully mature and the other wasn't. If you have patience, then sometimes a hop will grow to be that long, most of the time, though, they average about 2 inches. You can see in my hands, when I grab the handful, that there are various sizes, but they can all...

Here's how I dry mine: Homebrew Junkie: Harvesting Home Grown Hops for Home Brewing. Pretty simple and effective.

Mine didn't do jack squat and they are 6 years old. Next year, I'm digging up the crown and selling it on ebay. I don't even use fuggle hops.

My pleasure. It was a lot of fun and I hope it helps everyone out.

Hey guys, I just got done doing a video on harvesting hops. It's about that time when there are plenty of questions going around on when to harvest hops. I hope I answered plenty of them. Feel free to shoot me an email if you have any other questions. Homebrew Junkie
