What do you do with hop plants after harvest?

After you pick hops, you have two options: throw them directly into a brew and make a wet-hopped beer or dry them to use later. Fresh hops are about 80 percent water, so you'll need to use more than you would with dry hops. In general, wet hops are used four to six times the dry hop rate.
