Harvest when they're papery to the touch, browning around the edges, when you squeeze it, it springs back into its original shape, and when there is some visible yellow lupulin. I have a Sunbeam plant that is just about ready to have half a harvest. The rest are still forming cones from spurs. Keep it healthy and happy!

Ever considered doing a wet hop ale? That would be nice to research for a nice accessible IPA depending on your yield. Think about it.
