Must smell amazing

It does! It got a bit hot though so I re-ordered the trays and left the cover off. Hopefully I didn't burn too much of the flavor off the bottom layers.

your neighbors probably getting some weird ideas about what goes on at your house lol

For things like mushrooms it's taken me about 24hrs to get fully dry. I'd guess a little longer for the dehydrator being packed that densely.

Could you use this on green coffee beans I wonder

Far longer than you’d think…

It took me soooo much time and so many vacuum bags to bag them up

I only have a grocery bag to do so maybe two batches. One seems done already after about 6 hours.

I've not tried drying hops, but at a guess with a full set of trays, 24-48hrs of running time depending on how long you want to store them.
