I purchased a pound of Galena Hops through our Club’s group buy where we buy directly from North Country. The hops arrived in a vacuum sealed bag but had 7.9%AA written on the sticker. That seems quite low to me for Galena. Usually they are in the 11-15% range aren’t they? Does anybody else know of these low Alpha Acid Galena’s or did they mean to write down 7.9% Beta instead of Alpha???
7.9% doesn’t sound that far off. AA% depends on a lot of factors, especially growing conditions.
