I picked up some Saaz at the LHBS for my next batch. I was somewhat surprised to se that they were marked "5.8%". Seems awfully high for Saaz. I mentioned that to the guy at the shop, but he didn't comment at all.
Could they actually be 5.8%? I'd hate to change the hopping rates accordingly and have it come out wrong. I believe the last ones I bought there were more like 2.9%. Could these be a domestic version? I Think I've read about domestics tending to have a higher alpha acid content.
Thanks!
