Coriander seeds VS powder conversion

papamike · Jun 20, 2009

Hi, I'm starting a wit tomorrow and I have a small problem. The recipe needs 50 gm of coriander seeds, but all I have is coriander powder? Should I use 50 gm of powder? People at my local store told me to reduce the amount. I much should I add to a 5 gallons batch?

Thanks for your help, this forum is amazing!

If you had the seeds, you would need to crush them, and 50g is 50g crushed or whole

So 50 gm of coriander powder is not too much for a wit?

what is 50g, about 2 oz?
I use 1/2 to 1 ounce
that would be like 14 -28 grams (i think)

Yes, 1 ounce is 28 gm. Ok for 1/5 ounce, seems good for a first batch. Thanks for your help.

I would use the seeds over the powder.

When talking about spices, whole is always better than pre-ground. If you can only get your hands on ground, there is no reason not to use it unless it tastes bad. Also, if you have pre ground spices that are over 3 months old, they have lost a lot of potency.
