I'm getting ready to brew my second batch. Got a summer ale kit and want to add coriander and fresh ginger to the kit which includes bitter Orange and lemon. Any suggestions as to if this is a good idea and the amounts to use?

I just did a belgan wheat with coriander and bitter orange peel. The recipie called for 1 OZ each added to the soaking grains (1 hr at 155) crack the coriander first. I used a small food processor, although the coffee grinder would have worked better if I could get the &^^% coffee out of it first.

I recently made something similar... I added grains of paradise and coriander, along with FRESH lemon zest.

I say go nuts with the coriander... like 3-4oz. I used the recommended amount of orange and coriander in my Belgian... the orange was STRONG and the coriander was pretty weak. I would have halved the orange next time, and tripled the coriander.

3-4 ounces of coriander sounds really high to me. That's going to be 1-2 cups worth.

That is a lot of coriander. I would keep the coriander to 1 oz.go lighter on the bitter Orange. But that is for my taste.
