So I just can't gather, is this a dry weight or wet weight sum? Cuz that might skew things a bit....
 
Harvested the Cascades Monday, stuck them in the oast for the week and vac-bagged them today.

2 pounds 2.5 ounces dry weight, so we're up to 508.12 ounces.

Cheers!

From second year bines, dry weight:

Cascade: 9 oz.
Centennial: 6 oz.
Chinook 25 oz. !!!
Mt. Hood: 17.5 oz.
Sterling: 10 oz.

Total 67.5 oz, so running total is 575.62.

That's over 35 pounds. Nice.
 
56.5 oz of dry Chinook + 575.62 = 632.12. I am finished with hop harvest.
 
Dried and packages 6.5oz of cascade (first year) and 1oz of centennial (also first year)
I was very impressed by the amount of hops I got from the cascade. It was planted around the end of may.

632.92 + 7.5 = 640.42
 
19.5 wet oz of Chinoook dried down to 4.25 oz. 2oz in each vacuum sealed bag. The extra 0.25 went in a vacuum sealed mason jar that is not pictured.

640.42 + 4.25 = 644.67

Harvested a second batch of cascade and nugget last week. Got about another lb of cascade and 1/2 lb of nugget dry.

644.67+ 24= 668.67
 
2013 harvest was the best so far and I am not even done yet:

2nd year Goldings: 2 oz
3rd year Cascades: 52 oz (!)
2nd year Centennial: 3.5 oz
2nd year Mt Hood: 20 oz

And I still have more Centennial, Zeus and Chinook to harvest..

747.17

Surprised u got all your cascade at once. Or did you?
 
I did it in 3 harvest, as some cones were getting more sunlight and were very ripe before the others..

Also I don't have the drying capacity (window screen real estate) and the free time to harvest all at once, so I am doing it over a couple of week-ends and some week nights..

Yeh me too. This past harvest my poor little dehydrator ran for for a week and a half straight.
 
Just packaged 8.2 oz of Fuggles but used the dry equivalent of 2.2 oz of wet in a batch of ordinary bitter. So 10.4oz, running total = 758.57oz
 
I harvested my first year hops last week and got 3 1/3 oz of Chinook and almost 2 oz of cascade after drying. But it looks like my cascade has new blossoms so I might get another oz or two.

Just harvested 40 ounces of wet Cascade.

Started drying today :ban:

Maybe I'm wrong but its hard for me to see how you got 40 ozs from those 2 little bines. Maybe you meant 4?
 
Still have yet to harvest mine but did harvest another guys hops that no longer brews for my personal consumption with his permission of course. Ended up with 30 oz of northern brewer dried and packaged and have a bunch more drying as I type. 758.52+30=788.57
 
Harvested the first production from my single bine, 8.9 oz wet that went into an APA that's just about ready to bottle.

So 1/5 of that would be an additional 1.78oz dried

788.57+1.78=790.35
 
First year of harvesting cascade, centennial, and columbus hops. I'll let you know a weight when they get done drying. Does everyone just vacuum seal and throw them in the freezer?

Yep. Nice hall.
 
Just packaged 17.40 ounces of an unknown hop. They smell great. The smell is similar to Hallertau. 790.35 + 17.40 = 807.75 ounces.
