I chopped my second crop about 2 weeks ago. After maticulously researching it, I began the process of drying. After hanging upside down for between 5 to 7 days, they felt ready to be jarred. They have now been curing in jars for about a week now, however, I just tried some from different jars and they all seem to leave a slight harsh burning sensation in my throat. Is this simply because I am so early in the curing process, and will likely get better or go away after a full 3-4 weeks, or is this harshness set in stone? I've placed a hydrometer in some jars, the lowest RH was at 54-56%, and the highest was at 58-62% after sitting enclosed in the jar for 12 hours or so. Any help is appreciated!
P.S.- It doesn't smell or taste funny; Nothing unusual except for some harshness.
