Anybody ever fill up a muslin bag and toss it in the clothes dryer? Thinking it might be a bit rough on the Lupulin glands but fairly effective.
 
You will lose all of the AA in the process. The resin is very fine and will escape from the glands and the bag.
 
Some dryers have a rack you can put in the middle so the stuff on it does not tumble for real delicate clothes, would that be of any use?
 
It would be too hot. The cooler of temp you can dry hops with, the better. Now, if you did just tumble dry where the heater core didn't engage, I could see that working if there's a middle rack to keep the hops from being mashed up.
 
Now I don't have any hops to dry but my drier has an ultra low heat or an air dry feature. Maybe someday I will give it a try. I hope to plant some next year.
