About a week after these pics, I checked on the cascade and tettanang hops and both were ready for picking and drying.

These were’n huge yields, but it’s the first year and it’s not even August!
In other news, I entered a pale ale in a the MASH Ales of Summer competition, and I’m preparing entries for another competition.
Cheers!
