i just learned of a guy at work who has hops growing at his farm house, apparently he bought the house in the last few years and the previous owner had hops planted and they continue to grow. this year the owner can't pick them and thus he offered them to anyone willing to pick them. i volunteered and will be heading out this saturday to pick his crop, which sounds fairly substantial.
i'm interested in any advice as far as picking, drying, bagging, freezing goes. the picking should be pretty self explanitory i figure, but any tricks of the trade would help. i am especially interested in tricks of the trade when it comes to drying, bagging and freezing. i have a good idea of what needs to be done and i'm sure i'll execute alright, but i figure more insight/help/advice the better.
thanks in advanced.
