This is a pic of the lupilin glands I was talking about in the video. You can see that the one on the left has nice deep, golden colored sacs compared to the other one that has a lighter colored yellow. It's hard to tell with the actual cut hop but you can see it more clearly with the petals below the hops. The one on the left is fully mature.

I loved it. You did a great job making this video -- concise, professionally laid-out, informative. Thanks so much!
Thanks for the great info, esp the part about the caution needed if you have a dog, was going to start to harvest tomorrow for the first time, and was going to have here out with me.
Thanks! That was a fabulous video. We are on our way out back now to harvest.
What a great video. I'm just getting started in brewing and would like to make a pale ale. Found some hops growing in the wild but had no idea how to harvest them. Thanks
Awesome job on the video, my Hops didn't do so well this year.

Very helpful video. I now know my hops are ready to be harvested, but now that I look more closely I see they also have aphids in them. Are they a lost cause? Will the aphids go away during the drying process?
Thanks for any advice!
Agreed, great video and very informative. I just moved into a new duplex, and to my suprise, there was a hopvine growing off the front patio! Now I can put the basement (or brewery!) to use.
Thank you for this video. I found it in a google search, when I was trying to find information on how to harvest my own hops that I am growing for the first time this season. Thanks especially for the info on how it is harmful to dogs. I had no idea! I'll keep mine far away from the hops when I harvest. Thanks! -Rose
great video. very clear explaination of info that is scattered and conflicting on the web.
