I'm thinking of getting ready for a brew day next weekend. I cut a homegrown Fuggles cone in half this morning and it does contain the yellow powder and gives a nice aroma.

Is it time yet?

It’s my 1st year growing and Iv got a close eye on mine. Iv watched a few YouTube videos and the consensus is,, if they feel papery and spring back when squeezed, they easily break up in ur hand, tips start to brown and the luperlin glands are a dark yellow.. check out this video
 
Thanks @dazzleknight. I'd seen other videos but not that one, and that one's particularly good. I'd say my hops aren't ready for harvesting quite yet.
