Helloo again gardeners! I am once again doubting myself so thought to maybe ask! Anyone familiar with harvesting hops? Advice says to listen to the prazzle and smell it. I have nothing to compare to..! It smells great! Fruity and hoppy :) Not really sticky but definitely some prazzle crunch and some visible yellow yumyum Lot of cones are quite small but theres was very dry weather last few weeks and I wasn’t home to water, so I’m guessing they’re done growing because they feel about the same as the biggies.

Thankful for any and all advice!

I was hoping for beer! Im cultivating multiple varieties both named types and ones I found around the country. I think I’m close too, might harvest tomorrow morning since we’re about to get blasted with heat again.

Ah beer the classic use case. Hopefully it turns out good. I was kicking around the idea of practicing some simple brewing before using my hops for a beer. I haven't gotten to it at all. I might just use them for teas
