I'd dry it first. I think the final part of the process, before that stuff is good for anything, is drying and curing it. That allows the (lemme see if I can get this straight) chlorophyll and starches to become sugars, or something like that...

The point is, I think if you let it dry and cure before using, the butter you make will taste less green and chlorophyll-y. I've never used fresh product, so Idunno for sure, but that's my guess.

Dry, cure, then grind. Then make the butter.

Week of darkness then? Or just chop. I've never actually had a hermie before, so i'm unsure as to how to proceed with it.
