HOPS HARVEST (FBF)

The hops monster. The heart of the hops monster is a nest of black wasps.




Tonight one harvester sports a fat lip and another three fresh welts, one in the armpit. Good thing there were fresh onions growing nearby - the alkalids neutralize the sting. We harvested around the wasps.




This is our first time harvesting. Air-drying on a window screen, then planning to offer them to beer-making friends.
