I read about this hop in the brewing book I have and found some information about it online, but I haven't found much concerning how much to use in a typical 5 gallon batch.
I'd like to try and use Pacific Gem in a stout recipe. I played around a little with the trial version of beersmith and came up with something like this for starters:
8 lb. Coopers Light Malt Extract
1/2 lb. each of Crystal 60L, Roasted Barley and Chocolate Malt. (steeped for 30 min)
1.5 Oz - Pacific Gem (60 min boil)
I haven't quite decided on the yeast yet and I'm not sure what if any aroma hop to use. I've read Pacific Gem can be quite powerful and found some discussion of it used in extra bitters and Pales, but nothing on stouts.
Any advice on the amount of Pacific Gem I listed or any other ingredients to try with it?
