Yaaay Getting a new Dehydrator for my Bday

thataintchicken · Jul 16, 2009

SWMBO's mom spilled the beans.
A brand New NESCO dehydrator is on the way!

I am so happy, I could leave a stain on the carpet. :rockin:

I love ours. Even if I only made jerky in it I would still love it.

it's terrible. I have a list of things to make:

Cat treats
Dog treats
Dried Heirloom Tomato ( from garden ) to be used in place of tomato paste in recipes.

and so much more.

OMG.
SWMBO dehydrated my entire pepper stash and made the most incredible chile powder.

Bright side = I have chile powder
dark side = dammit, now I need another coffee grinder for %#$% coffee

Thread revival here. Have you used your dehydrator to dry hops? And how'd your hot peppers come out dried?

Yay for food dehydrators!

Nice!

Just reminded me that my Father has a 35cu.ft food dehydrator that I should use for something.

What does he use it for?

He does agricultural research and dries various seeds and grains in it. The last time I helped him with it we dried about 200 pounds of red chilis that he'd grown. I live in a good area for growing hops so I'm looking into it.

Yes, I have used my wife's dehydrator but not for hops. I dried some spent grain from my last couple of brews. I then use the dried grain in various bread recipes I've found on HBT and other sites. Works like a charm on the grain! I would think it would work well on fresh hops, also.
