Hi
I'm new around here. I've been brewing beer for about 5 years now starting with premade kits to partial mash and finally last year I started doing all grains.
Also last year I planted some hops plant. Now this year I got what seems to me a lot of hops in them. The probleme is that I'm really not sure on when to harvest them. I've tried to read on the subject but everything is unprecise about when the cones are ready.
The first two pictures are my nugget hops and the two next are cascade hop.
What do you think? Are they ready or not? Can someone also give a brief idea of when they are ready? I've search a lot on internet but it was always unclear on what it is.
Thanks a lot
