I was just wondering if I could get some feedback on my home built hop dryer that I am currently using to dry my 1st year harvest.

I am using a roof mount server rack cooling fan assembly to draw air up through the bottom, through a filter, then ultimately through 10 trays of hops (though first year only produced enough for 9 trays of hops).

Thinking about painting it...

Ship me a couple pounds and I will test them for you ;) Seriously, looks like a great setup. Do you have a dry heat source or just room air?

Actually, the way it is designed I can use a small space heater at the base where the air intake is located, but right now I'm doing a cool drying process using the room temp air.

I do have to tell ya...my basement smells amazing!!
