Default What is the correct way to dry garlic?

I've harvested all my garlic and have about 30 bulbs. I would like to dry them well so they don't go off before we can eat them all! I apologise for so many questions but I'm a bit confused - my books are a bit vague on this!

Do I cut off the stems? How far down? What about the roots? Where is best to hang them up? Could i store them indoors? Can they be used before they are dried? (they are well past the green stage) How long should they take to dry out and what do i do with them when they are dry (store indoors?)?

Any advice appreciated! Pics of my garlic harvest can be seen here
