I picked a good sized amount of hops today. Loaded up my oast and thought, last time I did this I couldn't share photos because I was a HBT Freeloader.
Anyhow here is my Hops Oast. I made use of an old dresser or chest of drawers from the basement.
1st I removed the drawers, then drilled holes into the bottoms. (Used a hole saw.)
Then I got some bulk do-it-yourself reusable furnace filters and cut them to size so I could line the drawer.
I rigged a fan to blow air up through the bottom. I usually leave the top drawer cracked open so the moist air gets pushed out. Drying usually takes 3 days.
