I have never actually used amber malt myself, but one of my friends has some Fawcett's amber malt and said that it is pretty potent stuff. If that is the case, I would use less.

For my personal taste, I would use only 1/2 ounce of coriander. Make sure to use the whole coriander and just crush it.

Happy brewing!
