so for example, i get around 4oz of hop cones this year, how much weight do you think would be lost during the drying?
When they are harvested they need to dry, and will drop markedly in weight then. There are plenty of threads here with screens or furnace filters used to create a makeshift "oast", the old term for a hops drier that I suspect "Pappy" would have been familiar with. You might see the stickies above, or the search function on the bar overhead. I just put mine on window screens in the air condition basement for about a week with good results. However, my bines are only second year, with modest yields, not 86 year veterans!
