This is what I did this year. I had 3.5kg of Fuggles to dry out, so made some frames with a fine mesh stapled to it. I then put them on trestles in my garage and put a fan on them. They took about 3 days to dry out and would of been even quicker if I didn't turn the fan off over night. I ended up with just over a kilo that is now vacuum packed and in the freezer. I used 100g of them in a brew I did last Sunday, it was very satisfying using hops I have grown myself.
Looks good! trouble is I'm terrible at DIY, but I'm sure I could trade some beers for someone to make me some frames.
I tried laying out my cascade in a room and had a fan blowing over them, but they started to smell pretty bad :S. I put them on a plastic sheet though which may have been a problem. Once the dehydrator was free I put them in there to finish them off.
