Moisture percentage in dried hops

Ingredients
1

I just weighed my un-dried hops. Assuming they weigh 1 oz how much should they weigh after they are dried?

If they were ‘ripe’ you should end up with about .25oz.  http://www.uvm.edu/extension/cropsoil/wp-content/uploads/Hop_harvest_fact_sheet.pdf

The short answer is 1/5-1/4 oz. Better answers at

Thanks for the answers. It looks I’m going to need a lot more hops to brew an IPA.

I just tested this out last week. I started with 3.38 LBS wet weight on a very accurate kitchen scale. My dried weight on same scale was 15.7 OZ. hope that helps…

just slightly over 29% then. course to get the real dry weight you would have to dry it out all the way in an oven overnight or similar.
