Ok....so my Centennial hops have a bunch of cones that are just about ready, I might even pick some later today.
I have a pretty fancy Electrolux convection oven that has a dehydrator feature on it. The lowest temp setting is 100deg which I figure is low enough, but has anyone used a convection oven to dry hops, and if so, how long(about) did it take. I know you want around 80% less weight, but I don't want to have to pull them out and weigh them all the time. Being that it's a larger box than a dehydrator I'm thinking I should have more air flow, and quicker drying times since I'll be able to really spread them out.
So....has anyone used this method, and how did it turn out?
