Hello All,
I have begun picking the hops that are growing at my house. I don’t know what kind, as they were growing there when we moved in. I started drying them in the basement on screens that are resting on chairs with a box fan on low near them. For the first few screens, I turned off the dehumidifier in the basement because I thought it may damage the hops in the drying process. So, I’m wondering, is it a good or bad idea to keep the dehumidifier on? I would assume good, possibly speed up the drying process but not sure. Also, I thought it may be bad off because it may encourage mold.
