Brewer's Notes
I have found myself buying this beer as a 'take along to BBQ' drink, and really like the malt and hop ballance with notes of blackcurrent and burnt sugar. Goes really well with food. So after reading up their speel on the net and a few bottles to taste and evaluate, i came up with this. I did a side by side that i will elaborate on in the related thread, but i actually think its better! Lovin' the Pacific Gem!

Infuse up to 66 deg for 60 min
Infuse up to 72 deg for 10 min and mash out at this.
Ferment with a nice dryish english ale yeast at about 20 deg.
