This is the first year I've grown hops.
The centennial are looking great, although not that big - the size of a £1 to £2 coin.
I picked one earlier and followed the guide that someone else put up yesterday

They're kind of springy, but they still feel very wet and mostly grass like, rather than any hop aroma.
I keep reading about lupulin, but I'm not sure what I'm looking for. At the moment, if I roll them, or take them apart, I can't see anything other than green leaves. Is this the yellowy stuff on the inside?
My phone has made them look more yellow than they actually are. They're almost entirely green.
I'm thinking that we have a whole week of sunshine left in August, so should I leave them for now?
The Chinook plant has grown quite well, but I've absolutely no hops on it. Just lots of growth. I take it once it dies back, I just trim it back?
