I still have bunches and bunches of hops left on my plants. Much of them are turning brown now. Just around the edges but brown it is. And the cosed are opening up more.

Is it still worth picking them? or has all the acidy stuff faded?

ALSO - if i pick green but they turn brown over a few days... are they still worth keeping?
 
'Sall good. In my opinion, as long as they're not horribly brown through and through, and don't smell bad, they should be good to use. You could rip open some cones - if the lupulin is still in tact and smelling good -> green light!
