Apologies for the number of shots (19 @ ~85KB each) for those on slow connections... I've put these notes first to give you something to read while they load...

Total harvest was 700g when fully dry and fits into 2 x 5L containers when compressed. I didn't weigh them when picked, but it was about a volume of 40L all told.
I had ~780g after the first stage of drying for 48 hours using the drying frame. I then switched to my old method of using hop drying pockets (made from two sheets of newspaper folded and stapled down the sides) on top of the central heating boiler for a few days. Although not planned this worked out well as because the hops were nearly dry I was able to stuff the pockets much more heavily, and therefore I only needed two. If they had been "wet" then I would probably have needed more like ten which becomes unmanageable.
Next year I'll give the bine another fence panel to use, and try to thin out the number of shoots more. Even if this doesn't increase the yield it might make the hops easier to pick as they won't be quite so congested and buried under foliage.
My Cobb Golding harvest was a disaster this year, which I put down to the age of the plant and the weather conditions. Ironically I made a much better job of thinning and spreading the bine's growth.
