My brother-in-law grows hops and I picked about a pound Saturday. That seems to equate to about 4 oz. of dried hops given what his weights have been in other harvests. I have them in a paper bag. I have just been shaking the paper bag each morning. I have seen/read people putting hops on furnace filters and using a box fan to blow on them to dry them out. My question is this - can I just dry them out in the paper bag over a few weeks or will the hops turn bad using this free method? I don't really want to spend $20 on a fan and $8 on furnace filters to dry $6 worth of hops. Or, should I just brew with them over Labor Day and it would be a 'medium' wet-hopped ale...?
